Abstract
Aim 1: To evaluate the feasibility of a peer (dyadic) support intervention to improve diet adherence and reduce systolic blood pressure among African American women with hypertension. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that the peer (dyadic) support intervention will be feasible, participants' diet will improve, and systolic blood pressure will be reduced (5-6 mm Hg). Aim 2: To describe the peer (dyadic) relationship during the intervention.
