Key result
Large-scale national cholesterol interventions in the mid-1980s were associated with significant improvements in cholesterol-related knowledge, behavior, and plasma cholesterol levels (P=0.0001).

p-value: p=.0001
Large-scale national cholesterol interventions in the mid-1980s were associated with significant improvements in community-level cholesterol knowledge, behavior, and plasma levels.
E. Frank (1992) reported a cross-sectional. Large-scale national cholesterol interventions (time period) vs. Pre-intervention period (early 1980s) was evaluated on Cholesterol-related knowledge and behavior and plasma cholesterol levels (p=.0001). Large-scale national cholesterol interventions in the mid-1980s were associated with significant improvements in cholesterol-related knowledge, behavior, and plasma cholesterol levels (P=0.0001).
