Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on tackling hypertension in Peru through a hybrid research design testing a community health worker (CHW)-led program, aiming to improve blood pressure control within the national primary care system in Puno.
- - A total of 1068 adults with hypertension will be recruited and randomly assigned to either usual care or a 12-month intervention, which includes home-based monitoring, medication support, and lifestyle counseling.
- - The trial will evaluate clinical effectiveness (like changes in blood pressure) and implementation outcomes (such as program acceptance and cost-effectiveness), providing valuable insights for future health strategies in Peru and similar low- to middle-income countries (LMICs).
