Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Blood pressure value [15 minutes]
systolic Blood pressure and dyastolic Blood pressure
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Morisky scale [15 minutes]
Medication adherence. The Morisky scale condition and medication specific assessment: 1) measures the level of adherence an medication, 2) measures the severity of Major Depressive Disorder, a determinant of non-adherence 3) identifies why the patient is not taking their medication, 4) determines the risk between non-adherence to BP measures of disease control. 0-1 = Low motivation; 2-3 = High motivation / 0-1 = Low knowledge; 2-3 = High knowledge
