Overview

Community intervention improves blood pressure knowledge among adults, suggesting effective health literacy strategies.

  • Pre- and post-test scores demonstrated clear enhancement across all domains, with notable predictors identified in sociodemographic factors.
  • Linear regression revealed that both income and education level influenced improvements in health literacy scores after intervention.
  • This structured student-led model highlights a scalable approach to addressing hypertension-related health disparities in communities.
