Summary

This study aims to assess the impact of training General Practitioners (GPs) on adherence to antihypertensive medication among hypertensive individuals. It also aims to assess risk factors for non-adherence. Special training (in appropriate algorithms for management and patient involvement in therapeutic decision making) has been given to GPs. The study has been conducted in six middle or low income clusters of Karachi recruiting individuals randomized to specially trained or untrained GPs, with a follow-up period of 6 weeks. The medication event monitoring system (MEMS)has been used for assessing adherence. It is hypothesized that compliance levels of individuals going to specially trained GPs is higher compared to those going to GPs not having received special training.
