Summary

Expanding evidence-based interventions for hypertension and stroke prevention among youth and their caregivers is crucial for meeting World Health Organization and Nigerian health goals. Innovative strategies are urgently needed to address the burden of hypertension and stroke in Nigeria, aiming to involve local communities, bridge generational gaps, and reduce health disparities. This study aims to determine the effect of a music-inspired intervention and campaign (Music4Health) designed by the community on blood pressure, stroke preparedness and intentions, and uptake of the intervention among youth-caregiver dyads in Nigeria.

BEHAVIORAL

Music4Health Intervention

The intervention period will include three Music4Health Day community events. Music4Health Day will adapt content from open call submissions and apprenticeships with community-based teams to meet the music preferences of youth and their caregivers. The events will focus on managing blood pressure, preventing strokes, and stroke preparedness through music-inspired strategies, utilizing rhythms and lyrics. Each Music4Health Day event will include a listening session of a music video with lyrics designed to improve knowledge and awareness of high blood pressure and stroke preparedness. Participants will be provided with MP3 files and YouTube video links containing music, videos, visuals, and health messages. Participants will listen to the intervention at the events and also at their convenience on their mobile phones, followed by weekly text reminders. During the events, music ambassadors will also share personal experiences to promote health messages and foster community engagement.
