    The Mi Propio Camino (MPC) intervention will be comprised of four sessions. Session 1 will encompass: the facts about high blood pressure (BP), understanding blood pressure readings, provide an overview of changes one can make to manage their BP, introduce MPC personal experience monitoring, and usage the mHealth kit. Subsequently, sessions 2-4 will emphasize the benefits of personal experience monitoring through 1) personal insight (finding what works for them) and 2) empowerment to work with their providers. Session 2 will reinforce this by introducing: synergy between medication and lifestyle, principles of heart-healthy eating and physical activity. Session 3 will incorporate discussion of negative beliefs about medication and patient directed lifestyle learning-rotating stations. Lastly, session 4 will introduce the continuation of personal experience monitoring on their own through the use of behavioral strategies for adherence and provider communication strategies.

Session 2 will present LS2: eating a well-balanced, low-salt diet and LS3: enjoying regular physical activity.
