Description
Community programs can curb high blood pressure, but whether they pay for themselves is less clear. Reshu Agrawal Sagtani and co-authors set out a review plan for that money question in a 2025 protocol paper. Their review will gather full cost studies of community programs for preventing and managing hypertension. Six databases plus grey sources will be searched up to January 2025. Two reviewers will screen the finds on their own.
Quality of each study will be graded with set checklists. A pooled math summary will run only if the studies match closely enough in method and outcome. The team aims to compare cost results across countries and program styles. The paper is a plan, published before the review itself is run.
