Abstract
Within the Minnesota Heart Health Program, all schools have participated in these programs and most have been incorporated as part of the regular school curriculum. The involvement of parents in youth programs has been challenging, but we view it as essential to making significant changes. Further, a program with appropriate underlying behavioral theory and community involvement can be successful. Such efforts seem critical to primary prevention of cardiovascular disease risk and subsequent disease in a culture where these diseases are common.
