Abstract
Diabetes and hypertension are prevalent in the United States, and are among the most common reasons for office visits. Control rates for hypertension have dropped in the past 5 years owing, in part, to medication non-compliance, perceptions of poor locus of control and self-efficacy, limited health care literacy and knowledge. Concerns regarding adverse effects of medications are also prevalent. This project seeks to improve patient knowledge of hypertension and present an argument for medication compliance.
