Hypertension Care Expansion in Nigeria 2.0

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

HTN 2.0 builds on the prior HTN program by expanding the HEARTS bundle to Abia, Delta, Gombe, Jigawa, and Oyo, while checking whether hypertension control is sustained in the capital. The intervention uses a standardized package for hypertension care at primary health centers, adapted for the local context. Eligible participants include adults with elevated blood pressure, those already on BP-lowering meds, pregnant women, and adults with cognitive impairment. Exclusions cover individuals under 18 and detained persons. Lead sponsorship comes from Washington University School of Medicine, with collaboration from Nigerian partners and NHLBI, at select PHCs in Abia State.
