- Last Updated:10/30/2024
Does your child have high blood pressure or risk factors for high blood pressure?
A Yale Pediatric Nephology team is conducting a study to test the accuracy and acceptability of a new method for monitoring blood pressure at home, including measurements while asleep. The study also aims to determine whether children and adolescents prefer this new method over the current standard of care.
For completion of all study procedures, participants can receive up to $150 in gift cards.
