Religious Engagement in Health Intervention
Religious Engagement in Health Intervention for blood pressure (BP) includes three evidence-based components: (1) educational sessions for Christian and Muslim leaders on religious teachings and medical aspects of BP, (2) equipping religious leaders to provide BP teaching in their communities using knowledge learned from educational sessions and through longitudinal mentorship meetings, and (3) community BP screening organized by religious leaders in partnership with local health care workers, and referrals for clinical care as needed.
