Purpose: The purpose of this grounded theory study is to explore the various factors that may influence hypertensive therapeutic adherence practices of the hypertensive United States Virgin Islander in relation to HTN. The researcher will also attempt to identify the US Virgin Islanders basic understanding of the disease process and of the therapies used in treatment. The researcher will employ a grounded theory method to investigate the social processes that drive this phenomenon and develop a substantive theory that addresses the therapeutic management of hypertension in the United States Virgin Islands.
