近二十年来，国家高血压教育计划实施了一项公众、患者和专业教育计划，以努力减少未控制的高血压，这是美国一个重要的公共卫生问题。已经建立了一个广泛的网络，许多合作伙伴已经联合起来，组成了国家卫生政策与发展计划。在该项目实施期间，高血压的知晓率、治疗率和控制率显著提高，这与年龄调整后卒中死亡率降低近57%有关。1988年，中风给美国造成了每年233亿美元的直接和间接损失。其中大部分是由于高血压未得到控制。控制高血压似乎可以在一年内节省近15亿美元的中风直接和间接费用。这是由于治疗高血压而降低的冠心病医疗费用之外的另一项费用。其中一部分可能与NHBPEP有关。
For nearly two decades, the National High Blood Pressure Education Programme has administered a programme of public, patient, and professional education in an effort to reduce uncontrolled hypertension, an important public health problem in the USA. A broad network has been established and many partners have joined forces to form the NHBPEP. During the tenure of the programme, awareness, treatment, and control rates for high BP have increased dramatically, and this has been associated with a nearly 57% reduction in age adjusted stroke mortality. In 1988, stroke cost this nation about $23.3 billion a year in direct and indirect costs. Much of this is attributed to uncontrolled hypertension. It seems likely that controlling hypertension saved nearly $1.5 billion in direct and indirect costs for stroke in one year alone. This is in addition to the other health care costs attributed to coronary heart disease that have been reduced as a result of treating high BP. A portion of this may be related to the NHBPEP.
