Effectiveness of a Community Pharmacy-based Health Promotion Program on Hypertension in Bangladesh and Pakistan

This project will consist of three phases: baseline survey with first time intervention implementation; second intervention at 6 months; third at 12 months and , end-line survey at 18 months. As part of the intervention within the randomized selected groups, the CP will conduct two 15-30 minute sessions throughout the intervention period, once at the baseline or first visit (T0) and once at the sixth month (T1). Patients will attend the two sessions at the pharmacies where they collect their prescription medication. Face-to-face counselling sessions will be held about hypertension and its management, including lifestyle changes and drug compliance.
