Assessing Publics' Knowledge About Hypertension in a Community-Dwelling Sample.

Sociodemographic and clinical variables have significant relationships with levels of knowledge about hypertension. This necessitates the importance of considering these variables when designing and providing health educational programs. PMID: 25658184 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
