Brief Summary: To develop a comprehensive database publication databook utilizing available published and unpublished data on the prevalence of hypertension and its treatment and control in selected minority populations in the United States -- Hispanic Asian and American Indian
Detailed Description: BACKGROUND

Data on hypertension among minority populations were lacking prior to the workshop and databook publication Several reasons why the data were lacking include the biological and cultural diversity of Americas minorities their wide dispersal across the country and the fact that key data such as death certificate information have sometimes not been recorded

DESIGN NARRATIVE

The objective was accomplished in a two-phase approach as follows Phase l In June 1994 a workshop was held in Washington DC on the epidemiology of hypertension in minorities The workshop entitled The Epidemiology of Hypertension in Hispanic Americans Native Americans and AsianPacific Islander Americans included as participants the investigators who had relevant datasets and were willing to participate in the effort The investigators were requested to use common definitions of hypertension in their workshop presentations when feasible In addition in preparation for a databook publication each study was asked to provide summary data using common definitions and a common format on the prevalence of hypertension in the study population Data presentations and interpretations at the workshop enabled the investigators and consultants to identify further research needs further feasible data analyses utilizing available data and special target groups for demonstration research efforts to enhance the potential success of intervention efforts

Phase 2 A database publication databook was designed to include a summary of the workshop proceedings with the appropriate data and interpretations along with summary data from the studies presented in a standard unified format The databook entitled Hypertension in Hispanic Americans American Indians and Alaska Natives and Asian and Pacific Islander Americans was published in 1996 and presented the prevalence of hypertension and its treatment and control by age sex and minority status along with other information the planning committee considered relevant
