High blood cholesterol is a significant public health problem in the United States and is currently considered a national health priority. Currently, there is insufficient research on how to practically and inexpensively influence large numbers of individuals to lower their blood cholesterol levels. The broad purpose of the proposed research program is to provide both effectiveness and cost data for a spectrum of minimal contact educational interventions designed to help individuals change their behaviors to reduce their blood cholesterol levels. The interventions vary along a continuum of six intensity levels from the "ethical minimum" of educational input to the maximum level of education considered practical. The three "lower" levels of intervention involve written materials only which will vary from a Cholesterol Result form (CR) alone; to a dietary self assessment, Rate Your Plate (RYP) and the CR; to a multi-page self-help nutrition kit, Let's Eat with the RYP and CR. The three "higher" levels of intervention will include all of the written materials and use of a compact disc audio intervention or a brief (12-minute) face-to-face counseling session with either a lay educator or nutritionist. Interventions are designed to be used and will be tested in a variety of settings including worksites, public sites, religious organizations,. and medical facilities. Short-term and longer-term changes in measured total blood cholesterol levels and self-reported changes in eating pattern and other behaviors will be studied. In addition, thorough procedures will be used for determining costs that differentiate the conditions during the experimental treatment. This will allow effectiveness outcomes to be combined with costs for meaningful conclusions regarding the practicality and utility of various approaches to minimal contact education for cholesterol-lowering in those sectors most likely to provide measurement sites. The results will also be examined for differences associated with various subject characteristics (i.e. age, gender, educational level, cholesterol level).

高血胆固醇是一个重大的公共卫生问题， 美国，目前被认为是国家卫生优先事项。 目前，对于如何在实践中， 廉价地影响大量的个体， 胆固醇水平。 拟议研究计划的广泛目的 是提供一系列最低限度 旨在帮助个人改变的接触教育干预措施 他们的行为来降低他们的血液胆固醇水平。 的 干预措施沿着连续的六个强度水平从 “伦理最低”教育投入到最高教育水平 被认为是实用的。 三个“较低”的干预水平涉及 仅书面材料，与胆固醇结果表不同 (CR)单独;饮食自我评估，评价你的盘子（RYP）和 CR;一个多页的自助营养包，让我们吃的RYP和 CR. 三个“较高”的干预级别将包括所有 书面材料和使用光盘音频干预或简报 （12分钟）与外行教育者或 营养学家。 干预措施的设计是为了使用，并将进行测试 在各种环境中，包括工作场所、公共场所、宗教场所、 组织，。和医疗设施。 测量的总血胆固醇的短期和长期变化 饮食模式和其他行为的水平和自我报告的变化 将被研究。 此外，将采用彻底的程序， 确定成本，区分期间的条件， 实验性治疗 这将使有效性结果 结合成本，就可行性得出有意义的结论， 和效用的各种方法，以最小的接触教育， 降低胆固醇在这些部门最有可能提供测量 网站. 还将检查结果中与下列因素相关的差异： 各种受试者特征（即年龄，性别，教育水平， 胆固醇水平）。
