Abstract

Hypertension is a highly prevalent chronic disease and a leading contributor to numerous life-threatening complications, including cardiovascular disease and stroke. Time constraints during routine clinical encounters often limit providers' ability to deliver comprehensive education on nonpharmacologic strategies. Community-based educational programs can help close this gap by teaching people about changes they can make to their lives in safe places like a Church. This evidence-based practice project aims to evaluate whether community-based education on lifestyle modifications can improve self-efficacy, self-care practices and behaviors and have high rates of participant satisfaction with the intervention.
