Actual (reported)This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a novel cardiovascular disease prevention program designed for delivery through existing primary health care services in rural villages in Andhra Pradesh. The primary aim is to increase the number of high-risk individuals in the population that are appropriately managed with proven, low-cost preventive interventions. The corresponding null hypothesis is therefore that the prevention program will result in no change in the proportion of high-risk individuals identified and treated in villages assigned to intervention compared with those villages assigned to control.

12 months after intevention

An algorithm based approach to increase the identification of high-risk individuals in the community through encouraging opportunistic screening, and to increase the use of appropriate evidence based prevention strategies.
The health promotion arm has been designed to increase knowledge of the causes of cardiovascular disease and enhance use of preventive behaviours in the general population
The first intervention was a clinical algorithm designed to enhance the identification and treatment of high-risk individuals compared to continued usual care. The algorithm was designed to be used by either physician or non-physician health care workers.
The second intervention was a health promotion program designed to increase knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors compared to continued usual practices.
These entries preserve how the registry describes the intervention. Their treatment roles are shown separately from molecular identities.
Grouped treatment entry
ASA, Atenolol, hydrochlorothiazide, ACE inhibitor, Statin
The registry names several treatments. This does not confirm that participants received them together or that they form a single product.
