The association of health literacy and blood pressure reduction in a cohort of patients with hypertension: The heart healthy lenoir trial
2017, Patient Education and CounselingCitation Excerpt :Non-randomized observational trial designs are increasingly used for the evaluation of quality improvement and/or practice-based interventions where rigorous and high fidelity interventions are not feasible or desirable [7,35]. We suspect that the volunteers for the study represented a relatively healthy group which may have introduced a “healthy volunteer” bias [36–38], a notion supported by the fact our overall mean SBP at baseline was lower than expected. This also introduced a “floor” effect, which limited the amount of SBP reduction that could realistically be made.
