This Project Grant award of $623,433 was provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The purpose of the grant is to adapt and implement Community Vital Signs (CVS) strategies to increase rates of blood pressure screening and connections to care for hypertension in Nigeria. The key products/services to be delivered through this 4-year project include: 1) Engaging stakeholders to refine and finalize the co-creation of CVS strategies in Year 1 (R61 phase), and 2) Implementing and assessing the CVS strategies to increase blood pressure screening at 12 community-based sites and 12 healthcare facilities across Nigeria during Years 2-5 (R33 phase). The project aims to screen approximately 24,000 participants and connect them to care as part of this community-based hypertension identification and management initiative.
