Community-Based Participatory Research and System Dynamics Modeling for Improving Retention in Hypertension Care.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The high prevalence of hypertension calls for broad, multisector responses that foster prevention and care services, with the goal of leveraging high-quality treatment as a means of reducing hypertension incidence. Health care system improvements require stakeholder input from across the care continuum to identify gaps and inform interventions that improve hypertension care service, delivery, and retention; system dynamics modeling offers a participatory research approach through which stakeholders learn about system complexity and ways to model sustainable system-level improvements.

Objective

To assess the association of simulated interventions with hypertension care retention rates in the Nigerian primary health care system using system dynamics modeling.
