Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Specific aims:

1. To test whether the initiation of statin therapy increases dietary saturated fat intake among statin naive patients.
2. To determine what role attitudes, beliefs, expectations, motivation, intention and self-efficacy regarding drug or diet therapy may play in observed changes in dietary behavior after starting statin therapy.
