The Workplace-Based Hypertension Management Program

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a workplace-based, multicomponent hypertension management program for newly diagnosed patients. Investigators will recruit 512 participants (256 pairs) from the Kailuan Study in Tangshan, China. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive a Workplace-based Multicomponent Hypertension Management Program or Standard Workplace Health Management. The primary objective is to assess improvements in blood pressure control and hypertension-related health behaviors.

About this study

Hypertension is a major public health issue worldwide, and workplace settings represent a critical intervention opportunity for middle-aged populations. Nudge theory provides a cost-effective and behaviorally informed approach to promote sustainable health behaviors. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will explore mechanisms of health behavior promotion, evaluate the effectiveness of a nudge-based workplace health management strategy, and contribute to evidence-based hypertension prevention and control in China.
