Preventive MedicineSystematic risk factor screening and education: A community-wide approach to prevention of coronary heart disease
81 Citations1986David M. Murray, Russell V. Luepker +5 more
Within a community-wide heart disease prevention effort, it was hypothesized that personalized risk factor screening and education would result in modified health behaviors and reduced risk factors for coronary heart disease.
Journal of Health and Social BehaviorThe Life Cycle of an Innovation: Adoption versus Discontinuation of the Fluoride Mouth Rinse Program in Schools
78 Citations1990Mary Ann Scheirer
Reasons for adoption and for discontinuation of a dental caries prevention innovation (the fluoride mouth rinse program) are examined by using recent theory on decision processes within organizations to suggest that political contingency theories may explain the processes by which organizations adopt and discontinue innovations, whereas classical diffusion theory explains the content of these processes.

24 Citations1996Jennifer O’Loughlin, Lise Rénaud +2 more
The data suggest that screening and counseling for CVD risk factors is an effective strategy to positively influence level of physical activity and if screening does increase motivation and interest among teachers to become heart-health role models or educators, the benefits of school-based screening could extend well beyond those who actually participate.
