Detailed Description:
In this study participants (who have prehypertension as defined as systolic blood pressure - the upper number- 130-139 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure 85-89mmHg- the lower number-) are randomly assigned to one of two groups:
the Minimal Intervention Group- participants receive advice and printed guidelines only but no counseling or personalized instruction, or the Enhanced Intervention Group- participants receive advice and the same printed guidelines as the minimal intervention group, together with dietary and physical activity counseling provided by a dietician and/or coordinator, periodic professional reviews of their progress and personalized instructions.
