Overview

Risk perception associations with CVD estimates in students are hypothesis-generating; prospective studies needed before any practice implications.

Structured PICO

Population

158 college students from a midwestern university

Outcome

Knowledge and perception of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular risk estimatespatient reported

While college students have high knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors, changing their perception of personal risk may be more important for reducing long-term cardiovascular risks.
