Personalized prevention approach with use of a web-based cardiovascular risk assessment with tailored lifestyle follow-up in primary care practice - a pilot study
Conclusions
The personalized prevention approach offers a system for integrated risk profiling and individualized health management that was well received in general practice. The client-centred approach, which was embedded in a local community setting, using a web-based health risk assessment with tailored feedback and linkage to regional health management and lifestyle providers proved feasible, and successful. Participating in the health risk assessment elicited actual behaviour change among follow-up survey respondents.
