Task Shifting and Blood Pressure Control in Ghana Data
Description
The bp_ghana
data set includes 757 subjects across 32 community health centers who
were partitioned into intervention groups according to a pragmatic cluster-randomized trial
with 389 in the health insurance coverage (HIC) group and 368 in another group consisting
of a combination of HIC with a nurse-led task-shifting strategy for hypertension control
(TASSH) (this group is denoted TASSH + HIC). This study was an effort to assess the
comparative effectiveness of HIC alone versus the combination of TASSH + HIC on reducing
systolic blood pressure among patients with uncontrolled hypertension in Ghana. Baseline
blood pressure measurements and 12 month follow-up results were collected among subjects,
85% of whom had 12 month data present
