Description

The SHARP-RESPOND study aimed to describe the characteristics and health-seeking behaviours of individuals with undiagnosed hypertension in low-income households in the Philippines and identify the factors influencing undiagnosed hypertension. The analysis is based on observations from 516 people with hypertension from low-income households in the Philippines as part of the RESPOND study. A survey collected the characteristics of participants with undiagnosed hypertension, which were compared to those with diagnosed hypertension to identify determinants of undiagnosed cases. A follow-up survey one year later gathered data on whether undiagnosed participants had subsequently received a formal diagnosis.

Methods

Description of data capture

A questionnaire using validated tools was administered at participants’ homes at baseline and follow up, collecting socio-demographic data, general health and hypertension history and care-seeking behaviour, knowledge of hypertension, and blood pressure. Individuals without a prior diagnosis of hypertension but with blood pressure readings >140/90 mmHg were classified as having undiagnosed hypertension, and during the follow-up interview one year later information was gathered on whether a formal hypertension diagnosis was received.
