Limitations and Caveats
Despite extending the recruitment timeframe, it was difficult to recruit unique participants to the study that would be reliable for follow up after 3 months. Additionally, the Somali community had many engagement activities from other community partners focusing on health, so the changes in blood pressure or PCP follow up could be affected by this additional, non study related intervention.
