Community Health Worker-led Hypertension Management
Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Madison
Summary

The target population is patients with hypertension in rural Guatemala. Study duration will be 12-24 months.

Conditions
Interventions
CommCare with Mobile Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Application
For those assigned to the CHW arm, management will be assisted by CDS from the CommCare application.
Remote Supervision by Physicians
teleconsultation with a supervising physician
CommCare Application without CDS
The physician will have received training and orientation on the same clinical protocols followed by the CHWs, as well as access to reference materials for these protocols, but the version of the CommCare application used will not provide CDS, but will serve to record and review patient data only.
