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).

血液中的高胆固醇是一个重大的公共健康问题 目前被认为是国家卫生优先事项。 目前，关于如何切实和有效地解决这些问题的研究还很不足。 廉价地影响大量个人降低他们的血液 胆固醇水平。拟议的研究计划的广泛目的 是提供最低限度的频谱的有效性和成本数据 联系旨在帮助个人改变的教育干预措施 他们降低血液胆固醇水平的行为。这个 干预措施沿着六个强度级别的连续体变化 “伦理最低限度”的教育投入达到最高教育水平 被认为是实用的。三个“较低”的干预水平包括 仅限与胆固醇结果表不同的书面材料 (Cr)单独；对于饮食自我评估，给你的盘子(RYP)和 到多页自助营养包，让我们与RYP一起吃饭 CR.三个更高级别的干预将包括所有 书面材料和使用光盘音频干预或简短 (12分钟)与非专业教育工作者或 营养学家。干预措施旨在使用并将进行测试 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 将会被研究。此外，还将使用彻底的程序来 确定区分不同情况的成本 实验性治疗。这将使有效性结果能够 结合成本，得出关于实用性的有意义的结论 以及最低限度接触教育的各种方法的实用性 在那些最有可能提供测量手段的行业中降低胆固醇 网站。还将检查结果中与以下各项相关的差异 各种学科特征(如年龄、性别、教育程度、 胆固醇水平)。
