To include more videos in modules. Audiovisual aids of learning are the best ways of delivering information
The modules were very informative and easy to understand and remember. Thank you
The modules are well arranged and are information-rich. I liked the references for further reading
measurement of blood pressure in module 2.preparation of the patient and the devices used. This is some thing i used not to attention to and even most of my senior trainers as a junior clerk. Thanks a lot.
treatment of hypertension. I was unable to access module five as was continuously being referred to as having discussed medical management very well  but i feel it should be improved, thanks

Recruitment of more participants for wider dissemination of this knowledge.   Improve on support for those participating in the study especially internet bundles to reduce disconnections of internet.
I learnt  definition of hypertension  Treat of HTN
The learning modules should be inclusive about more complications and mechanisms of action
They helped me understand hypertension deeply, it's.managemebt en risk factors as well as prevalence.
Management should be improved to include examples of drugs belonging to the different classes of antihypertensives
The interesting thing was on the major challenges of hypertension management
Simplified the diverse information present on hypertension that can be used in a clinical practical manner.
Case based patient approach should also be included. For example the course can discuss different clinical cases as one of the sections in clinical module 2.

More emphasis on the medications,their side effects,how severe are they because you didn't talk about that
Different modes of hypertension management. As in I knew only the pharmacology bit only
Some phases of the post test survey had over 10 questions and this gives a bias, it would be better if they are broken down into many more phases, this helps one to give him courage to continue as it shows progress. But everything was good
Blood pressure measurement   Lifestyle modification
The different classes of medications and their mechanism of action. Then how to monitor patients on the drugs.
I like it so much that the module has educated me on the steps to take to prepare a patient for an accurate BP measurement.  It is also very good that the module uses some pictures which summarize information in a way very easy to learn and memorise/ remember.
Some of the videos attached to the module wouldn't easily open forcing me to read the script yet I would find it easier to learn from the video.
the illustrations and references for further reading
Emphasising the proper blood pressure measurement technique
The mechanism of action of the anti hypertensives
gave a very good about about hypertension
questions could have been more clinical based
I particularly appreciated the proper way if measuring blood pressure: the devices used, the precautions. I also appreciated the lifestyle modification methods to prevent and treat hypertension.
The treatment of hypertension could have been delved into more particularly since the participants are in the medical profession. The questions in the post-test quiz on medication were an over estimation of what the modules had.
Measurement, and management of hypertension especially encouraging of a healthy life style
Module was quite informative and engaging
Management of hypertension both the pharmoco logical and non pharmacological And how each method of treatment is important

Be more elaborate on the blood pressure lowering medications
Hypertension complications are largely preventable
I liked the description of the global burden of hypertension
the details about choice and combination of anti hypertensive drugs
The global burden due hypertension and related complications is high. This calls widespread screening and subsequent initiation of treatment and lifestyle adjustments for those who are hypertensive.
It would be helpful to limit use of figures to very vital or significant information because remembering lots of figures is quite a task.
The modules explained the entire topic of hypertension very excellently
taking blood pressure accurately using manual methods and the treatment medications of hypertension
One thing I learnt is that I've been measuring BP wrong for a very long time, and so have some of the people who trained me   The modules were very extensive and the variety in study materials makes it easier to remember
The pre test was a little too lengthy, it could've put some people off
Reminds us of all the basic yet detailed information need to know about hypertension and its management
We should provisions of selecting more than one option
The modules helped me to know how to diagnose hypertension ( BP >140/90 when there is no pain associated or any other acute stress ,if such factors are present manage the factors and take BP masearements again,how often to repeat the measurements ( after 1-2 mins) ,medication protocol can be convetional or single combined pill and take average of the two then follow up every after 2-6 weeks

I loved the bit about the burden and prevalence of hypertension globally and it has pushed me to find out more about hypertension specifically in my country. Alot of people could be having it but due to it's asymptomatic nature, many people are diagnosed when they present with complications. So I've learnt that creating awareness about hypertension is very important in reducing mortality due to hypertension
The treatment options needed a little bit of more explanation
I like the skills employed in developing this questionnaire
make the questionnaire short...........questions are very many abs very long.I almost dozzed on a laptop
