CLIP is part of the RESTORE Network, which designed five randomized trials aimed at reducing racial inequities by translating efficacious interventions for hypertension prevention into community settings. CLIP consists of a cluster randomized trial of 20 barbershops among Black men with elevated blood pressure (BP) or Stage 1 hypertension. The effect of the Barbershop-based Facilitation (BF) strategy will be compared to self-directed control participants on BP reduction, hypertension prevention, linkage to care, and adoption of CLIP at 12 months. Approximately 10 barbershops and 210 participants will be randomized to each group. It is hypothesized that men in barbershops randomized to the BF strategy will exhibit greater BP reduction, higher rates of linkages to care, and lower rates of incident hypertension compared to men in the self-directed control barbershops.
