Summary
This trial tests whether a short, structured counseling method called BATHE can help people with high blood pressure stick to their treatment plan. Adults with hypertension are randomly assigned to receive either the BATHE interview during clinic visits or standard advice on medication and lifestyle. Over six months, researchers compare treatment adherence scores and blood pressure levels between the two groups to see if this simple communication approach makes a difference.
