Beginning in 1974, the Mayo three-community hypertension control program initiated intervention studies in three southeastern Minnesota communities. This paper reports on the blood pressure outcomes 5 years after the inception of graduated programs involving public and professional education, detection, referral, and, in one community, systematic stepped care. Despite differences in local physician-population ratios and organization of medical care, perseverant long-term reductions of blood pressure were noted in all communities. However, the mean diastolic pressures were lower and the number of individuals at goal (diastolic blood pressure 90 mm Hg or less) was higher in the community offering categorical care. These data suggest that while programmatic efforts to control hypertension resulted in favorable blood pressure declines, the outcomes were particularly impressive in the community with a categorical hypertension clinic model offering systematic management of hypertensive patients.
