Understanding community health workers’ readiness to provide hyperlipidemia-related self-management support in rural Nepal: a biphasic mixed-methods evaluation

FCHVs' workload, inadequate incentives and knowledge were important barriers. Balanced workload, regular trainings and adequate incentives are important to engage FCHVs in hyperlipidemia management.
