[Socially selective degree of achievement in community-oriented intervention--analysis of participation in health actions of the German Cardiovascular Prevention Study].

The subject of this article is an analysis of participation in campaigns of the German Cardio-Vascular-Prevention Study (GCP). In 1988 two representative surveys were carried out in the City of Bremen. Altogether, 2360 persons were questioned. Of these, 149 stated that they had participated in campaigns of the GCP. A multivariate analysis shows that the probability of participation was highest for people with an interest in health-related issues and for members of higher social classes. The discussion of these result emphasizes some problem areas in the use of such community-based intervention concepts.
