Key result
Community-based care, particularly mHealth, improves blood pressure control over facility-only care in Ghana.
Why the study?
The comparative effectiveness of community-based interventions such as screening, task-shifting, and mHealth versus facility-based care alone for improving blood pressure control in adult hypertensive patients in Ghana was examined.
Do community-based interventions (screening, task-shifting, mHealth) improve blood pressure control compared to facility-based care alone in adult hypertensive patients in Ghana?
Do community-based interventions (screening, task-shifting, mHealth) improve blood pressure control compared to facility-based care alone in adult hypertensive patients in Ghana?
Community-based interventions, especially mHealth, improve blood pressure control in Ghanaian hypertensive adults by increasing access and self-management support.
Supports integrating task-shifting and mHealth into resource-limited hypertension care models, though this should not yet change practice; leaves open long-term cardiovascular event reduction and scalability.
Direct evidence from Ghana indicates that community-based, particularly mHealth, interventions improve blood pressure control among hypertensive patients by increasing access and self-management support.
