Sammanfattning
The objectives were: 1. To compare a patient-centred, self-directive intervention with conventional care; 2. To evaluate longitudinal within-group changes of coronary heart disease risk. 22 participating general practice centres were randomly allocated to follow either a patient-centred, self-directive intervention or a conventional approach. The conclusion was that everyday general practice clinical work seems as efficacious as a specific intervention method based on currently advocated behaviour change principles.
