Summary

The goal of this study is to learn if a nurse-led, task-shifting, community-based program can help lower blood pressure in adults aged 25 and older with uncontrolled high blood pressure (hypertension) in Monrovia, Liberia. The program is delivered through community-based mobile clinics by community health nurses (CHNs) trained in WHO-aligned hypertension care within the Ministry of Health's (MOH) Community Health hypertension management protocols.

Participants will:

* Receive blood pressure treatment from trained community health nurses (CHNs) at community-based mobile clinics in their communities, including medication and lifestyle counseling.
* Complete surveys at their first visit, at 4 to 6 weeks, and at 3 months about their experience, satisfaction, and medication use.
* Attend follow-up visits at the mobile clinic based on their blood pressure levels.

Community health nurses delivering the program will complete structured training and be invited to complete surveys before and after training, and to take part in interviews about their experience at the end of the study.

The study will take place over 7 months in five high-thoroughfare communities in Monrovia, Liberia, and aims to enroll 150 participants.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Project HOPE Intervention

Patients will receive nurse-led treatment for uncontrolled hypertension that includes: A. Pharmacological treatment in line with the MOH's non-communicable disease protocols and World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of hypertension in adults 1. Medications include calcium channel blockers, thiazide diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). B. Non-pharmacological treatment including education and counseling on lifestyle interventions (healthy diet, exercise, active non-sedentary lifestyle +/- smoking cessation as needed), medication adherence, danger signs and social factors contributing to hypertension. The mobile clinics will be in the same community at a specific day of the week, each week, enabling patients to come back for a follow-up on the same day during a future week (either next week or after 4-6 weeks, based on blood pressure readings)
