Background: Hypertension, a major but modifable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, is a global health problem
including Ethiopia. In a limited infrastructure task sharing of hypertension screening for community health workers is
a feasible strategy to improve hypertension management. Recent fnding have shown that trained health extension
workers (HEWs) can identify high blood pressure, which was efective and feasible. Identifying barriers and enablers
for home-based hypertension screening by HEWs is crucial for its implementation. This study aimed to explore barriers and enablers that infuence health extension workers’ home-based hypertension screening in the community
