Prevention Project

Purpose. To present an evaluation of a 5-year, community-based, chronic disease prevention project managed by a state health department to determine whether the department could replicate similar previous projects that had received more funding and other resources. Design. The evaluation used a matched comparison design and a review of archive and interview data. Setting. Florence, South Carolina (population: 56,240). Subjects. A random sample of 1642 persons in Florence (and 1551 in the comparison) who responded to a risk factor questionnaire and underwent a physical assessment; 70. 7% of baseline subjects participated in the postintervention. Forty key persons were interviewed concerning project effectiveness. Interventions by Project. Walk-a-thons, a speakers' bureau, media messages, restaurant food labeling, and cooking seminars. More than 31,000 participants were involved in 585 activities. Measures. Questionnaires focused on hypertension, obesity, high cholesterol, smoking, and exercise. Physical assessments determined lipid, lipoprotein, apolipoprotein, and blood pressure levels. Analysis of covariance was used for baseline and postintervention comparisons. Content analysis was used on archive and interview data. Results. The project had a slightly favorable intervention effect on cholesterol and smoking, but failed to have an effect on other risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The project influenced community awareness, enlisted influential community members, and fostered linkages among local health services. Conclusions. Health departments can be instrumental in community risk reduction programming; however, they may not replicate projects having greater resources.
