Changes in SMBP use during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have not been described previously.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data were used to quantify changes in SMBP use between 2019 (prior COVID-19 pandemic) and 2021 (during the COVID-19 pandemic). Fourteen states administered the SMBP module in both years. All data were self-reported from adults who participated in the BRFSS survey. We assessed the receipt of SMBP recommendations from healthcare professionals and actual use of SMBP among those with hypertension (n\u2005=\u200568,820). Among those who used SMBP, we assessed SMBP use at home and sharing BP readings electronically with healthcare professionals.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Among adults with hypertension, there was no significant changes between 2019 and 2021 in those reporting SMBP use (57.0% vs. 55.7%) or receiving recommendations from healthcare professionals to use SMBP (66.4% vs. 66.8%). However, among those who used SMBP, there were significant increases in use at home (87.7% vs. 93.5%) and sharing BP readings electronically (8.6% vs. 13.1%) from 2019 to 2021. Differences were noted by demographic characteristics and residence state.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Receiving a recommendation from the healthcare provider to use SMBP and actual use did not differ before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, among those who used SMBP, home use and sharing BP readings electronically with healthcare professional increased significantly, although overall sharing remained low (13.1%). Maximizing advances in virtual connections between clinical and community settings should be leveraged for improved hypertension management.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ajh\/hpae031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,14]],"date-time":"2024-03-14T13:18:42Z","timestamp":1710422322000},"page":"421-428","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Changes in Self-Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring Use in 14 States From 2019 to 2021: Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1589-4188","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing","family":"Fang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , Atlanta, Georgia , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , Atlanta, Georgia , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donald K","family":"Hayes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , Atlanta, Georgia , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hilary K","family":"Wall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , Atlanta, Georgia , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gregory","family":"Wozniak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Improving Health Outcomes, American Medical Association , Chicago, Illinois , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alina","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , Atlanta, Georgia , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fleetwood","family":"Loustalot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , Atlanta, Georgia , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024051505510084900_CIT0001","first-page":"e13","article-title":"2017 ACC\/AHA\/AAPA\/ABC\/ACPM\/AGS\/APhA\/ASH\/ASPC\/NMA\/PCNA Guideline for the prevention, detection, evaluation, and management of high blood pressure in adults: a report of the American College of Cardiology\/American Heart Association Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines","volume":"71","author":"Whelton","year":"2018","journal-title":"Hypertension"},{"key":"2024051505510084900_CIT0002","article-title":"Hypertension prevalence among adults aged 18 and over: United States, 2017\u20132018","author":"Ostchega","year":"2020"},{"key":"2024051505510084900_CIT0003","volume-title":"The Surgeon General\u2019s Call to Action to Control Hypertension","author":"U.S. Department of Health and Human Services","year":"2020"},{"key":"2024051505510084900_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"185","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-159-3-201308060-00008","article-title":"Self-measured blood pressure monitoring in the management of hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"159","author":"Uhlig","year":"2013","journal-title":"Ann Intern Med"},{"key":"2024051505510084900_CIT0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e42","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000803","article-title":"Self-measured blood pressure monitoring at home: a joint policy statement From the American Heart Association and American Medical Association","volume":"142","author":"Shimbo","year":"2020","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"2024051505510084900_CIT0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"755","DOI":"10.1097\/HJH.0000000000000489","article-title":"Accuracy of self-monitored blood pressure for diagnosing hypertension in primary care","volume":"33","author":"Nunan","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Hypertens"},{"key":"2024051505510084900_CIT0007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"244","DOI":"10.1093\/ajh\/hpab170","article-title":"How do we jump-start self-measured blood pressure monitoring in the United States?
