The success of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor screening programmes depends heavily on good uptake rates and the extent of risk factors modification following screening. It is thus important to try to understand what affects people's decision to attend a screening appointment and their motivation to change their lifestyle, if necessary, following screening. This paper summarises three studies undertaken to describe uptake of screening and risk factor modification and to identify the psychological factors involved. The studies took place in two settings: a worksite mobile screening service and a city health centre screening programme. The results identified a number of sociodemographic, personal and organizational factors involved in screening behaviour which offer suggestions for effective planning of screening programmes.
心血管疾病（CVD）风险因素筛查项目的成功在很大程度上取决于良好的参与率以及筛查后风险因素的改善程度。因此，了解哪些因素会影响人们决定参加筛查预约以及在必要时筛查后改变生活方式的动机非常重要。本文总结了三项研究，这些研究旨在描述筛查的参与情况和风险因素的改善，并确定其中涉及的心理因素。这些研究在两种环境中进行：一个工作场所的流动筛查服务和一个城市健康中心的筛查项目。研究结果确定了一些与筛查行为相关的社会人口学、个人和组织因素，这些因素为有效规划筛查项目提供了建议。
