s e255156 mmHg (SD 20), DPB 100 mmHg (SD 11). Acceptability: 8/12 participants responded via SMS with at least one BP measurement in the SMS arm. Two participants were lost to follow up in each arm. Mean SUS was 81.6 (scale of 0 to 100, > 68 is considered above average). Reduction in SBP at 12 weeks in the SMS group and control group was 15 mmHg and 13 mmHg respectively (p = 0.58). Conclusion:Recruiting and retaining LSES participants with uncontrolled HTN for a larger trial of telehealth with SMS and HBPM is feasible and well accepted. Similar BP reductions were achieved in both arms. Utilizing the SMS and HBPM shows promise in reducing BP in the LSES population. A larger efficacy trial is needed to determine best practice and reduce cardiovascular health disparities.
