Community Health Assessment Program in the Philippines (CHAP-P)

Residents of intervention communities (barangays) aged 40+ are openly invited to attend CHAP-P sessions. At CHAP-P sessions, trained local volunteers (Barangay Health Workers, or BHWs) collect consent, measure blood pressure, collect other physical measurements, and conduct a survey to determine clients' risk of diabetes. Based on the findings, BHWs provide education and/or referrals. CHAP-P sessions are held twice a month, and clients are encouraged to continuing attending for ongoing follow-up and monitoring.
