The survey was administered as part of a quality assurance initiative to enhance hypertension control. A total of 577 surveys were distributed and 467 were completed (81% response rate). The respondents had an average age of 35\u00a0years and 90.1% were female. Knowledge of hypertension epidemiology was low (13.5% of questions answered correctly); 31% of clinical practice questions had correct answers and confidence in performing specific tasks to improve hypertension control had 63.2% \u201cdesirable\/correct\u201d answers. Primary care doctors mostly had a positive attitude toward hypertension management (76.5% desirable\/correct answers) and highly prioritized hypertension management activities (85.7% desirable\/correct answers). Some important highlights included the majority (&gt;\u00a080%) overestimating hypertension awareness, treatment, and control rates; 78.2% used aneroid blood pressure manometers; 15% systematically screened adults for hypertension in their clinics; 21.8% reported 2 or more drugs were required to control hypertension in most people; and 16.1% reported most people could be controlled by lifestyle changes alone. 55% of respondents were not comfortable prescribing more than 1 or 2 antihypertensive drugs in a patient and the percentage of desirable\/correct responses to treating various high\u2010risk patients was low. Most (53%\u201074%) supported task shifting to nonphysician health care providers except for drug prescribing, which only 13.9% supported. A hypertension clinical education program is currently being designed based on the specific needs identified in the survey.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jch.13320","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,12]],"date-time":"2018-06-12T08:05:06Z","timestamp":1528790706000},"page":"1187-1192","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Hypertension, knowledge, attitudes, and practices of primary care physicians in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Maral","family":"Myanganbayar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Onom Foundation Onom Foundation Central Office  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Uurtsaikh","family":"Baatarsuren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Onom Foundation Onom Foundation Central Office  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guanmin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Facilitation, Analytics Alberta Health Services Foothills Medical Centre  Calgary AB Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberta","family":"Bosurgi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Novartis Foundation  Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geoffrey","family":"So","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Novartis Foundation  Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1093-4742","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Norm R.C.","family":"Campbell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Medicine, Physiology, Pharmacology and Community Health Sciences Libin Cardiovascular Institute of Alberta O'Brien Institute for Public Health University of Calgary  Calgary AB Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nasantogtokh","family":"Erdenebileg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khulan","family":"Ganbaatar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Purevjargal","family":"Magsarjav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manduukhai","family":"Batsukh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsatsralgerel","family":"Munkherdene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Onom Foundation Onom Foundation Central Office  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsolmon","family":"Unurjargal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Myagmartseren","family":"Dashtseren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Namkhaidorj","family":"Tserengombo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ulaanbaatar Songdo Hospital  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Batbold","family":"Batsukh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Central Hospital of Mongolia  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Bungert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Onom Foundation Onom Foundation Central Office  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naranbaatar","family":"Dashdorj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Onom Foundation Onom Foundation Central Office  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naranjargal","family":"Dashdorj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Onom Foundation Onom Foundation Central Office  Ulaanbaatar Mongolia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2016.19043"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","volume-title":"A Global Brief on Hypertension: Silent Killer, Global Public Health Crisis.
