This study provided evidence that the Cardiovascular School Health Curriculum was successful in increasing the knowledge levels of high school students and maintaining significant portions of that knowledge during a six month period, indicating that with a strong, well developed curriculum, relatively permanent change in knowledge levels can be achieved. This was particularly gratifying to the researchers who believe that the appropriate knowledge of the cardiovascular system, heart diseases and methods of preventing heart and circulatory problems are essential foundations for having positive impact of youths' future behavioral choices. Additional longitudinal studies are planned to augment the findings of this study.
这项研究提供了证据，表明心血管学校健康课程成功提高了高中生的知识水平，并在六个月内保持了大部分知识，这表明通过强大、完善的课程，可以实现知识水平的相对持久变化。这让研究人员特别欣慰，他们认为心血管系统、心脏病以及预防心脏和循环问题的方法的适当知识，是对年轻人未来行为选择产生积极影响的重要基础。计划开展更多纵向研究以扩充本研究的结果。
