Unadjusted Relationship Between PDM and Hypertension Care Outcomes*

Dependent Variable	OR (95% CI)*	P
Having a home blood pressure monitor	0.89 (0.82–0.97)	.006
Frequency of home monitoring	0.94 (0.87–1.02)	.14
Frequency of home monitoring (those without home monitors excluded)†	0.99 (0.98–1.01)	.28
Adherence to medications	1.02 (0.94–1.11)	.61
Blood pressure “in control”	1.09 (1.00–1.19)	.04
PDM indicates participatory decision making; CI, confidence interval. *Odds ratios (OR) were calculated per 10‐unit decrease in PDM score. †Because of the large number of participants who reported not having a home blood pressure monitor, the frequency‐of‐monitoring question was analyzed in 2 ways: (1) Using patients without monitors as the reference group and (2) excluding those without monitors and using the monthly category as the reference. In the latter case, n=334.
