Structured PICO

What are the participation and adherence rates in a large-scale standardized hypertension detection and treatment program?

P
Population
5,314 hypertensive patients assigned to a standardized hypertension detection and treatment program in the United States, followed for one year to assess participation.
E
Exposure
Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program (standardized hypertension detection, follow-up, and treatment program)
O
Outcome
Participation rates (attendance at follow-up rescreening and remaining active at one year)

High participation and adherence rates can be achieved in large-scale hypertension management programs through intensive efforts to reduce barriers.
