Study Description

Brief Summary: Primary Aim: To evaluate the effect of a lifestyle intervention delivered through telephone-based motivational interviewing (MINT) versus a patient navigation intervention on blood pressure reduction and CRC screening. Hypotheses: Among black men, aged \> 50 years with uncontrolled HTN and in need of CRC screening: 1. Hyp. 1: those randomized to the lifestyle intervention will have lower BP compared to those randomized to the patient navigation intervention at 6 months. 2. Hyp. 2: those randomized to the patient navigation intervention will have higher CRC screening rates compared to those randomized to the lifestyle intervention at 6 months.

Detailed Description: The primary outcomes will be (1) within-patient change in systolic and diastolic BP from baseline to 6 months and (2) CRC screening rates as determined by colonoscopy report or fecal immunochemical test (FIT) result from the primary care provider at 6 months. Blood pressure will be assessed with an automated digital BP monitor based on American Heart Association guidelines.1 CRC screening will be assessed by self-report and verified with medical records and/or the actual colonoscopy or FIT report from participants' providers.
