Objective: This study aimed to assess attitudes toward preventing hypertension development in normotensive individuals with and without a family history of hypertension. Materials and Methods: The study is a prospective cross-sectional research conducted at the Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic of the Training and Research Hospital between May 3, 2023 and July 3, 2023. A total of 208 eligible patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Sociodemographic characteristics, chronic diseases, medication usage, smoking habits, and family history of hypertension were assessed based on their Attitudes Scale towards Prevention of Hypertension (ASPH) scores. Patients were divided into two groups by their family history of hypertension. Linear regression analysis was utilized to identify predictors of ASPH scores. Results: 60.1% of participants were female, with a median age of 36 years. 29.3% had at least one chronic disease, and 80.8% had a family history of hypertension. No significant difference in total ASPH scores was found between groups with and without a family history of hypertension (p=0.658). Correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between age and total ASPH score (rho=-0.163, p=0.019). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that having a higher education level (p
