摘要: Background The purpose of this study was to assess follow-up practices among individuals found have elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in a screening and educational outreach. Methods Participants the National Heart, Lung Blood Institute Family Intervention Trial for Heart Health (FIT Heart) who were hypertension, prehypertension, sub-optimal lipids and/or abnormal blood glucose included (N=214, mean age 49 ± 13, 64% female, 33% non-white). Contact made at two weeks, six weeks three months determine if medical initiated. Barriers nonadherence assessed. Results After significantly more whites had follow up compared nonwhites (34% vs. 20%, p=0.04). Racial/ethnic minorities likely report that not having doctor barrier (30% 11%, p=0.02). Non-whites return staff rather than an outside physician (32% 15%, p=0.001). Conclusion with CVD may delayed whites, be attributable lack access doctor. These data suggest improving care reduce racial/ethnic disparities factor management outcomes.
