Summary

This study will compare two strategies involving community health workers and telehealth to help control high blood pressure among rural residents in Kenya: basic steps including training, developing protocols, and engaging leaders for supervision, compared to these steps plus additional support from healthcare worker champions and support from an outside facilitator.
