Scaling Up Community-based Noncommunicable Disease Research Into Practice in Pokhara Metropolitan City of Nepal
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a multifaceted community-based intervention, comprising 1) screening and lifestyle counseling by female community health volunteers (FCHVs); community health workers in Nepal, through home visits, and 2) regular Short Message Service (SMS) messages, can effectively reduce systolic blood pressure (SBP), lower fasting blood glucose, and increase smoking cessation rates among adults living in Pokhara with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and smoking habits, respectively. The main research questions are: * Can FCHV home visits combined with regular mobile phone messages focused on blood pressure management reduce systolic blood pressure in adults with hypertension? * Can FCHV home visits combined with regular mobile phone messages focused on diabetes management lower fasting blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes? * Can FCHV home visits combined with regular mobile phone messages focused on smoking cessation increase the cessation rate among current smokers? Researchers will compare the intervention group with a usual care group, which does not receive regular FCHV home visits for managing the three aforementioned risk factors or mobile phone messages.
