Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Knowledge about high blood pressure. Data will be collected at two different time points (t0/t1) via online questionnaire. The first measurement points is placed between giving consent and randomization directly at the beginning of the study. The second time point follows four weeks after t0 and the access to the high blood-pressure portal for the IG. The subjective knowledge about high-blood pressure will be assessed using five self-constructed items on self-assessed knowledge on high blood pressure. These are adopted from the self-assessment back-pain items used in the predecessor project GAP. The objective knowledge will be assessed using the German translation of the 12 item Hypertension Knowledge-Level Scale (Baliz Erkoc et al., 2012). | — |
