This pilot study evaluates how the intervention affected the attitudes and perceived competence of hypertension care providers with regard to culturally appropriate care. Methods Pre- and post-intervention questionnaires were used to measure the attitudes experienced barriers and self-reported behaviour of healthcare providers with regard to culturally appropriate cardiovascular and general care at three intervention sites N 47 and three control sites N 35 . Results Forty-nine participants 60 completed questionnaires at baseline T0 and nine months later T1 . At T1 healthcare providers who received the intervention found it more important to consider the patient s culture when delivering care than healthcare providers who did not receive the intervention p 0.030 .
