The leadership team received feedback from diverse experts through webinars and online surveys. The final report was peer-reviewed by external experts. According to postwebinar surveys, we identified 5 to 7 research priorities within each theme, totaling 29 research priorities. The 10 highest priorities were (1) Cost-effectiveness of combination therapy in low/middle-income countries, (2) A system allowing hypertension care closer to home, (3) Health system reform allowing trained community health workers to refill/initiate/titrate antihypertensive medications, (4) Health system reform allowing nurses to diagnose and treat hypertension, (5) Gaps in the medication supply chain, (6) New approaches integrating the management of hypertension and other diseases, (7) Digital approaches for improving medication adherence, (8) Optimal ...
