  • Description:
    ASTHO and CDC have engaged the United States Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) to design and implement hypertension (HTN) control programs through its Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Learning Collaborative since 2014. In 2019, Guam, the Republic of Palau, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) evolved their efforts to improve cardiovascular health outcomes in their jurisdictions. Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death in Guam, Palau, and CNMI, and HTN prevalence is over 30%. In their efforts to address HTN to prevent heart disease and stroke, each jurisdiction reviewed local data and developed programs based on the current health system in place and the needs of the community. This brief summarizes each jurisdiction’s efforts and highlights successful strategies that can be applied to future HTN and chronic disease prevention projects.
