Home-based Health Risk Appraisal and screening program.

In an effort to improve Health Risk Appraisals and to induce individuals to change their lifestyles, comprehensive evaluations and counseling sessions were carried out for 476 participants of an experimental preventive care program (1984). Nurse practitioners interviewed participants in their homes and collected information about their lifestyle, medical history, and family history. In addition, physical examinations were performed and blood samples were obtained for laboratory analysis. This information was used to formulate health risk profiles for all participants who were then counseled on how to decrease identified health risks. Interventions included education about health risks and specific programs which were administered to help modify high-risk behaviors. At one year follow-up, significant risk reductions were reported in many areas of increased risk.
