Description
Countless Americans face homelessness, with even more battling impoverishment. In addition to struggling to meet their most basic needs, some face chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. While these conditions might be manageable for most, it can be deadly for those who cannot even meet their most basic needs. The purpose of this study is to explore what hypertensive impoverished adults understand about the consequences of their diagnosis, and the struggles/ limitations they face in managing their condition. Participants will be selected from a GVHCP clinic in Statesboro, GA. They must be at least eighteen years of age and have no other chronic condition. Focus groups will be conducted to explore the posed questions. The data will be analyzed using phenomenological analysis developed by Czech et al (2001).
