Summary

The goal of this study is to learn if a nurse-led, task-shifting, community-based program can help lower blood pressure in adults aged 25 and older with uncontrolled high blood pressure (hypertension) in Monrovia, Liberia. The program is delivered through community-based mobile clinics by community health nurses (CHNs) trained in WHO-aligned hypertension care within the Ministry of Health's (MOH) Community Health hypertension management protocols. Participants will: * Receive blood pressure treatment from trained community health nurses (CHNs) at community-based mobile clinics in their communities, including medication and lifestyle counseling. * Complete surveys at their first visit, at 4 to 6 weeks, and at 3 months about their experience, satisfaction, and medication use. * Attend follow-up visits at the mobile clinic based on their blood pressure levels. Community health nurses delivering the program will complete structured training and be invited to complete surveys before and after training, and to take part in interviews about their experience at the end of the study. The study will take place over 7 months in five high-thoroughfare communities in Monrovia, Liberia, and aims to enroll 150 participants.
