Brief Summary

The ADHINCRA Program is a bundle of multilevel evidence-based interventions that address multiple predictors of controlled hypertension, including patient-, provider-, and health system-level factors. The successful implementation of the ADHINCRA program will provide a rigorous and scalable model for improving hypertension control in Africa, which would ultimately reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and kidney disease.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with systolic blood pressure <140 mmHgBaseline and 12 months post-randomization

Blood pressure control among participants defined as systolic blood pressure \<140 mmHg

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with diastolic blood pressure <90 mmHgBaseline, 12 months, 24 months post-randomization

Blood pressure control as assessed by diastolic blood pressure \<90mmHg

Medication adherence as assessed by Hill-Bone Medication Adherence ScaleBaseline, 12 months, 24 months post-randomization

Adherence to medications prescribed per the ADHINCRA Program treatment protocol. The total score ranges from 14 - 56. Higher score is better adherence.

Percentage of sites that adopt and maintain the intervention as assessed by the Pragmatic Robust Implementation and Sustainability ModelBaseline, 12 months, 24 months post-randomization

Use the Pragmatic Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) to evaluate the reach, adoption, maintenance of the ADHINCRA Program

Difference in cost of intervention compared to usual care as assessed by the Pragmatic Robust Implementation and Sustainability ModelBaseline, 12 months, 24 months post-randomization

Use the Pragmatic Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the ADHINCRA Program
