Objectives We describe the design of a translational study that examines the implementation impact sustainability and cost of an evidence-based nurse-delivered tailored behavioral self-management intervention to improve BP control as it moves from a research context to healthcare delivery. The study addresses four specific aims assess the implementation of an evidence-based behavioral self-management intervention to improve BP levels evaluate the clinical impact of the intervention as it is implemented assess organizational factors associated with the sustainability of the intervention and assess the cost of implementing and sustaining the intervention. Methods The project involves three geographically diverse VA intervention facilities and nine control sites. We first conduct an evaluation of barriers and facilitators for implementing the intervention at intervention sites. We examine the impact of the intervention by comparing 12-month pre post changes in BP control between patients in intervention sites versus patients in the matched control sites. Next we examine the sustainability of the intervention and organizational factors .
