Abstract
Hypertension is a complicated, chronic condition that affects individuals worldwide. The prevalence of this condition has increased nearly 48% in the last decade in America. This project served to determine if participants in a targeted area/community would show increased knowledge and awareness of hypertension after implementation of educational sessions. A post-session survey was provided to determine if the educational sessions were effective. Data was collected and analyzed that showed an increase in awareness and knowledge regarding the prevalence of hypertension, diet modification, lifestyle, and compliance.
