Treatment of hypertension: the community approach.
A long term project to improve the treatment of hypertension in a community is described. The results to date indicate that intervention can improve the proportion of hypertensives treated and the adequacy of such treatment. The final analysis of the project will include a comparison with a reference community and assessment of the impact of intervention on cardiovascular mortality.
