One fourth to one third of employed workers in this country have at least one of three major risk factors for coronary heart disease. This pilot study examined differences between educational methods used in an occupational setting. The specific aims of the quasi-experimental study were: to determine differences between two groups of subjects who received either group support and instruction or only written instruction; and to determine the association between the practice of heart healthy behaviors and decreased blood cholesterol levels. No significant differences were found between the two groups in cholesterol and behavior changes. However, there was a significant difference between pre- and post-instruction for all subjects. The study documented significant changes in cholesterol levels, cholesterol and fat intake, and weight reduction.
该国四分之一到三分之一的在职员工至少有冠心病的三大主要风险因素之一。这项试点研究考察了职业环境中所采用教育方法之间的差异。该准实验研究的具体目标是：确定两组受试者之间的差异，一组接受团体支持与指导，另一组仅接受书面指导；并确定心脏健康行为的实践与血液胆固醇水平降低之间的关联。两组在胆固醇和行为变化方面未发现显著差异。然而，所有受试者在指导前后存在显著差异。该研究记录了胆固醇水平、胆固醇和脂肪摄入量以及体重减轻方面的显著变化。
