Figure 1. Mean changes in systolic blood pressure as a function of parental history of hypertension (PHH) and coping responses (denial = DNL, cognitive = COG, and planning = PLN). High/low PHH and coping response groups were created via median splits.
Figure 2. Mean changes in diastolic blood pressure as a function of parental history of hypertension (PHH) and coping responses (planning = PLN). High/low PHH and PLN groups were created via median splits.
