Interactive site with a network and searchable table of adherence determinants across diabetes & hypertension in Sub‑Saharan Africa. Created by Hannah Chekhchar.
Adherence Determinants Network – Sub-Saharan Africa
===================================================
This repository contains the interactive outputs of a systematic review and meta-analysis on adherence to treatment and self-care for diabetes and hypertension in Sub-Saharan Africa.
It includes an interactive network visualization, a searchable edges table, and summary key findings to support policy recommendations.

Project Background
---------------------------------------------------
Diabetes and hypertension are rising rapidly across Sub-Saharan Africa, contributing significantly to premature morbidity and mortality.
Effective management relies on medication adherence, lifestyle modifications, and self-monitoring, yet adherence rates are often suboptimal.
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis (2004–2024) to:
- Estimate pooled adherence rates to medication, lifestyle, and self-monitoring.
- Identify key determinants of adherence (patient-related, medication-related, healthcare system, socioeconomic).
- Explore interactions between determinants using network analysis.
