Fig 1 legend: A Schematic overview of the scope of this study and the study of Beune et al. [22] Beune et al. showed positive correlations (solid arrows) of the CAHE intervention with adherence to lifestyle recommendations. Additionally, CAHE was shown to lower diastolic blood pressure (blunt arrows). The dashed arrows indicate the research questions of this study. Research question 1 and 2 analyse which determinants are associated with adherence to medication and lifestyle recommendations. Research question 3 answers which determinants the CAHE intervention influences in order to increase adherence to medication and lifestyle recommendations.
