- W2899517595 abstract "Objectives: Demonstrate the role and impact of community level interventions in identification and follow up of hypertension clients through the use of Community Health Volunteers (CHVs). Methods: Utilized CHVs as front line workers who were recruited, trained on screening and MoH approved messages with the role of creating awareness of hypertension, screening and referring those with elevated BPs to attached Tunza network facilities for further management to ensure continuity and follow up for adherence. CHVs adopted social behavior change and communication strategies to create awareness and screen potential clients including; house hold visits, small group sessions, bus terminus, work places and other locations. Results: Evaluations, involving population surveys and hypertension registers, have shown that population risk-factor levels have greatly reduced and consequently the disability adjusted years increased. The results showed that awareness among the general population increased and treatment was more effective than in the reference period. Prevalence of smoking and alcohol decreased in treated hypertensive patients and normotensives. Conclusion: Ignorance of the general population as to the nature of elevated BP, its morbid effects and the methods of maintaining control is widespread and contributes to the large percentage of undetected and untreated subjects in a community. Utilization of CHVs to screen and refer hypertensive clients while providing health education messages is a proven intervention towards the control of hypertension. Additional regular program data review and supportive supervision is important to inform change of strategies, messaging and follow up modalities to ensure adoption and maintenance of best practices." @default.
