The Hypertension Treatment in Nigeria Program involves the implementation and evaluation of a culturally- and contextually-adapted intervention package based on the KPNC and WHO HEARTS programs for hypertension diagnosis, treatment, and control at public, primary health centers in Abuja, Nigeria. The intervention has been adapted based on a local needs’ assessment including evidence synthesis and specific exploration of health care workers’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to hypertension, causes, consequences, and treatment, including fixed-dose combination and patient self-management, and patients’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to hypertension, causes, consequences, treatment, and control. Implementation pathways have been developed with particular attention to overcoming modifiable system- and patient-level barriers to hypertension treatment and control across capability, intentional, and system domains using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (cfirguide.org). Preparedness and capacity have been assessed at primary health centers (e.g. available staff; information systems; use of clinical guidelines) through an adapted Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA) instrument during the formative work for this Program. This dataset reflects the data collected during the SARA assessments.
