Intervention effect reports the beta coefficient of the interaction of time point*intervention group for linear regression models. Odds ratios for study arm are reported for logistic models.

Sample sizes for BP outcomes: Control BL = 103, 4-mo = 101, 8-mo = 103; Intervention BL = 78, 4-mo = 74, 8-mo = 78.

Sample sizes for medication adherence: Control BL = 52, 4-mo = 46, 8-mo = 52; Intervention BL = 39, 4-mo = 37, 8-mo = 39.

Sample sizes for appointment keeping: Control BL = 73, 4-mo = 67, 8-mo = 73; Intervention BL = 55, 4-mo = 50, 8-mo = 55.
