The goal of the Demonstration and Information Dissemination Project (DIDP) is to educate the lay public and health professionals regarding the antecedents (i.e., risk factors) and consequences of cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and congestive heart failure (CHF). Of special emphasis are: 1) the impact of these diseases on physical functioning, independence, and quality of life; 2) the modification of lifestyle behaviors through exercise and diet to ameliorate chronic disability; and 3) the physiological mechanisms underlying improved functional status in individuals with PAD and CHF. To achieve its goal, the DIDP will feature two major components: one primarily for the lay public, and one for health professionals. To increase the awareness of and disseminate information to the lay public regarding CVD in accordance with the specific aim, we will use an innovative, focused, two-tiered (community and school) strategy to reach racially and ethnically diverse, aging as well as elderly populations. This approach involves a four-step sequence: Infiltrate existing community groups comprised of older adults (tier one) and school classrooms (tier two); Disseminate information about CVD risk factors, complications, and endpoints, the components of a complete cardiac evaluation, and the role of exercise, diet, and smoking cessation as lifestyle modifications in preventing risk factors, reducing the occurrence of disease, or increasing physical functioning and independence in the presence of disease; Locate (identify) CVD risk factors and endpoints across generations; Activate older adults and their families to obtain an assessment of their CVD risk factors and begin lifestyle modifications that positively impact on risk factors and disease. Health professionals, as members of the community, will be part of the target population. However, to provide information with greater scientific breadth and scope to health care providers from diverse disciplines, the DIDP also will offer more traditional educational formats, such as inservice and continuing education programs.

示范和信息传播项目的目标 （DIDP）旨在教育公众和卫生专业人员， 前因（即，危险因素）和心血管疾病的后果 疾病（CVD），特别是外周动脉疾病（PAD），以及 充血性心力衰竭（CHF）。 特别强调的是：1）影响 这些疾病对身体功能，独立性和 生活; 2）通过锻炼改变生活方式， 改善慢性残疾的饮食;和3）生理 PAD患者功能状态改善的潜在机制 的CHF。 为了实现其目标，DIDP将具有两个主要特点 组成部分：一个主要面向普通公众，另一个面向健康 专业人士 提高非专业人士的认识并向他们传播信息 根据具体目标，我们将使用 创新的、有重点的、两级（社区和学校）战略， 种族和民族多样化，老龄化以及老年人口。 这种方法包括四个步骤： 渗透由老年人组成的现有社区团体（第一层） 和学校教室（第二层）;传播有关心血管疾病风险的信息 因素、并发症和终点，完整的 心脏评估，以及运动、饮食和戒烟的作用 作为生活方式的改变，在预防风险因素，减少 发生疾病，或增加身体功能， 独立存在的疾病;定位（识别）CVD风险 各代人之间的因素和终点;激活老年人及其 家庭获得他们的心血管疾病风险因素的评估，并开始 生活方式的改变对风险因素产生积极影响， 疾病 卫生专业人员作为社区成员，将成为 目标人群。 然而，为了提供更多的信息， 科学的广度和范围，从不同的医疗保健提供者 学科，DIDP还将提供更多的传统教育 格式，如在职和继续教育计划。
