This study is testing two simple ways to help people with uncontrolled high blood pressure remember and stay motivated to take their medications. Some participants will receive educational videos sent through WhatsApp three times a week for three months, while others will receive phone calls with the same information and reminders. Both groups will continue receiving their regular care from their doctor or health facility.
In Ghana, many people with high blood pressure don't take their medications regularly, which means their blood pressure stays dangerously high and can damage their heart, kidneys, and other organs. Since most people in Ghana have access to mobile phones, researchers want to see if simple phone reminders and videos can help people stick with their medication plans.

If you enroll, you'll be randomly assigned to receive either educational videos or phone calls (or both groups will also continue regular doctor visits). You'll receive three contacts per week for three months at times that work for you. The videos or calls will teach you about high blood pressure, explain possible side effects of your medications, and remind you to take your medicines as prescribed. The study lasts about 3 months in total.
