The rationale for the study is that the adherence to healthy self-care behaviors reduces poor nutrition, altered sleep, sedentary behavior, psychosocial stress, and emotional dysregulation, thereby reducing negative impacts on the brain, since all these factors contribute to neural inflammation and increased BP. Health-promoting self-care behaviors have the known short-term effect of enhanced cognitive function (processing speed, attention, and executive function) through the use of The Repeatable Neuropsychiatric Battery (RBANS) which is also an innovative component of OUR Project. Thirty middle-aged Black women (45-65 years old) with a self-reported diagnosis of hypertension will be enrolled. The development of this group-delivered intervention will be an iterative process, and the research team will use this pilot data to submit an R21 for a 12-week intervention through the National Institutes on Aging.
