We're making your questions matter!
A Hypertension Canada team led by Dr. Nadia Khan is developing a research agenda to determine the research priorities in hypertension from patients, caregivers and health care providers. The Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) will follow the principles of the James Lind Alliance to help tackle treatment uncertainties in the management of hypertension in Canada. By completing the short 15-minute survey below, your insight will help to identify the most important issues within the hypertension community for research. This study is funded by CIHR and Hypertension Canada. Final results will be posted on the Hypertension Canada website.
