Does mass screening improve the efficiency of identifying hypercholesterolemia in college students compared to selective screening?

Population

College students

Intervention

Mass screening for hypercholesterolemia (cholesterol measurement for all entering students)

Comparator

Selective screening for hypercholesterolemia (risk factor screening for sophomores with a family history of heart disease)

Outcome

Efficiency of identifying hypercholesterolemic students (number of cases found and effort per case)

Mass screening is a more efficient strategy than selective screening for identifying hypercholesterolemia in college students.
