  1. Clinic visits and initiation of blood pressure-lowering medication within 6 months analyzed using multilevel logistic regression with random effects of clusters (i.e., supermarket stores). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure assessed using multilevel mixed model with random effects of clusters (i.e., supermarket stores)
  2. OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval
