Funded Activity Summary

We know little about barriers to the control of high blood pressure in rural regions of low income countries. These rural areas differ in the proportion of people with high blood pressure, the risk factors for high blood pressure and most likely the barriers to good treatment of blood pressure. We aim to find out what these barriers are, and develop and test a program that can be used to improve control of high blood pressure in very diverse settings.
