简要总结
This study aims to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of written behavioural persuasion techniques intervention to encourage treatment initiation and follow-up for hypertension management among the untreated hypertension population of the SEACO cohort.
详细描述
Each household is given a unique identifier called house_id in the SEACO database. The randomisation will be computer-generated according to their house_id with a ratio of 1:1. During the house visit, participants' blood pressure will be taken three times, and the final reading will be the average of the second and third readings. Participants will be assessed based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, i.e., age 35 years and above, blood pressure reading and reported not being diagnosed with or treated for hypertension. At the end of the house visit, all participants will receive a standard referral leaflet, and participants randomised to the intervention group will receive an additional written behavioural persuasion leaflet.

主要结局
Number of participants who see a doctor because of high blood pressure
时间窗: Follow-up after 4-6 weeks receiving the leaflet
The number of participants who see a doctor because of high blood pressure
Participants' awareness of receiving the written communication during the health visit and their perceptions of the leaflets (6-point Likert scale)
时间窗: Follow-up after 4-6 weeks receiving the leaflet
6-point Likert scale (strongly agree, moderately agree, somewhat agree, somewhat disagree, moderately disagree, strongly disagree) to measure participants' awareness of receiving the leaflets during the health visit and their perceptions of the leaflets' content, usefulness, impact on seeking medical attention, and aesthetic appeal - "The leaflets contain useful information", "The leaflet was helpful.

It made me want to see a doctor for my blood pressure", "I like the colour and design of the leaflet".
12-item Health Literacy score
时间窗: Follow-up after 4-6 weeks receiving the leaflet

Participants' intention to go see the doctor about their blood pressure (6-point Likert scale)
时间窗: Follow-up after 4-6 weeks receiving the leaflet
