Key result
A 10-minute pharmacist-led intervention improves CVD knowledge by ~18% among low-income women.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in U.S. women, and effective educational interventions to improve knowledge and awareness are needed.
Does a 10-minute educational intervention by pharmacists improve knowledge of cardiovascular disease risk factors in adult female patients at a community health center?
Does a 10-minute educational intervention by pharmacists improve knowledge of cardiovascular disease risk factors in adult female patients at a community health center?
A brief educational intervention by pharmacists significantly improved knowledge of cardiovascular disease risk factors among low-income women.
Brief pharmacist education may boost CVD knowledge in low-income women; hypothesis-generating for clinical outcomes and requires outcome trials before practice change.

DiPietro et al. (2012) studied Cardiovascular disease risk (n=30). 10-minute educational intervention on cardiovascular disease vs. Pre-intervention baseline was evaluated on Mean knowledge test score (out of 34 points) (p=<0.001). A 10-minute educational intervention provided by pharmacists and student pharmacists significantly improved cardiovascular disease knowledge among low-income women, increasing mean test scores from 25.7 to 30.3 points (p<0.001).
