Key result
An integrated program with home blood pressure monitoring and village health volunteers significantly reduced systolic blood pressure by 4.61 mmHg (95% CI -8.32 to -0.90; P=0.015) at 3 months.
Why the study?
Does an integrated program with home blood pressure monitoring and village health volunteers reduce blood pressure in urban patients with poorly controlled hypertension?

128 patients with poorly controlled hypertension from two primary care units in an urban community of Nakhon…
Comparison
Integrated program based on the 20-item Health… vs Control group (presumably standard care).
Design
Other, Patients were randomly selected from each of the two primary care units.
Follow-up

Does an integrated program with home blood pressure monitoring and village health volunteers reduce blood pressure in urban patients with poorly controlled hypertension?
Mean Difference: -4.61 (95% CI -8.32–-0.9)
p-value: p=0.015
A community-based integrated program utilizing home blood pressure monitoring and village health volunteers effectively lowers blood pressure and improves self-management in patients with poorly controlled hypertension.
Visanuyothin et al. (2018) studied Poorly controlled hypertension (n=128). Integrated program with home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) and village health volunteers (VHVs) vs. Control group was evaluated on Systolic home blood pressure (MD -4.61 mmHg, 95% CI -8.32 to -0.90, p=0.015). An integrated program with home blood pressure monitoring and village health volunteers significantly reduced systolic blood pressure by 4.61 mmHg (95% CI -8.32 to -0.90; P=0.015) at 3 months.
