The principles of family support and of social learning theories were applied to a feasibility study of working directly with family units in a health education program. Twenty-four Anglo, Black, and Mexican-American families of young elementary school children participated in a 3-month cardiovascular risk reduction education project which included eight weekly evening sessions designed to assist families to decrease the frequency of consumption of foods high in sodium and in saturated fats, and to increase the frequency of aerobic exercise. Statistically significant differences between randomly assigned treatment and control groups were noted for reported consumption of high sodium foods and of foods high in saturated fats. Experimental subjects gained more knowledge of factors influencing cardiovascular risk, even though the intervention was behaviorally, rather than cognitively, based. This method of health promotion is deserving of further study.
家庭支持原则和社会学习理论被应用于一项可行性研究，该研究直接针对健康教育项目中的家庭单元开展工作。24个有小学低年级孩子的英裔、非裔和墨西哥裔美国家庭参与了一个为期3个月的心血管疾病风险降低教育项目，其中包括每周一次、共八次的晚间课程，旨在帮助家庭减少高钠和饱和脂肪含量高的食物的食用频率，并增加有氧运动的频率。在报告的高钠食物和饱和脂肪含量高的食物的食用情况方面，随机分配的治疗组和对照组之间存在统计学上的显著差异。尽管干预基于行为而非认知，但实验对象对影响心血管疾病风险的因素有了更多了解。这种健康促进方法值得进一步研究。
