About
We will evaluate an e_Prescription intervention can be integrated into an electronic screening program, which together exploit: (i) reach - the adult population has 100% mobile phone ownership and 92% internet national coverage; and (ii) behavioral change - the intervention can teach verbally and visually, thus bypassing literacy challenges, to allow simple, low-cost, repetition messaging for habit reinforcement. Uptake of the program through the various stages will be evaluated in ~2000 adults of a large representative suburban district of Karachi: As well as before-and-after physiological measures, including blood pressure (BP) and blood glucose, a random sample of 30-40 participants will be invited for interview to assess success and failure of the program. This is a pragmatic feasibility intervention implementation study.
