Sustained CVAR use by most GPs supports routine integration in primary care; extends RCT evidence on long-term adoption.
Observational (n=27)
Cardiovascular absolute risk assessment needs to be incorporated into practice information systems and long-term planned preventive care to be sustained in general practice and impact patient behavior.
Vaidya et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular risk (n=27). Cardiovascular absolute risk (CVAR) assessment was evaluated on Attitudes and practices of patients and GPs. Cardiovascular absolute risk assessment was sustained by most GPs at 12 months primarily to motivate patient behavior change, though time remained a barrier to its use.
