  <dc:title>Changing Attitudes to Hypertension</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>Hypertension</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>In this short article, Freis chronicled the evolving attitudes of primary care physicians towards hypertension. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, he noted that far too many doctors still considered it a &quot;benign disease.&quot; To counteract this, Freis advocated a three-step response: the implementation of an intensive education campaign for medical professionals, the organization of screening programs, and the creation of a cooperative relationship between doctors and the media in order to change popular perceptions of hypertension.</dc:description>
