Key result
A community-based health-education intervention maintained improvements in blood pressure and mortality risk scores at 9 years, though net differences in risk factors were modest.
Why the study?
Does a 6-year community-based health-education intervention improve cardiovascular risk factors in women and men 25 to 74 years of age?

A 6-year community-based health education intervention demonstrated sustained but modest improvements in blood pressure and mortality risk scores at 9-year follow-up.

May support sustained community education for modest BP control; leaves open causal confirmation in randomized trials.
Winkleby et al. (1996) studied Cardiovascular disease. Health-education intervention vs. Control cities was evaluated on Net treatment/control differences in risk-factor change. A community-based health-education intervention maintained improvements in blood pressure and mortality risk scores at 9 years, though net differences in risk factors were modest.
