Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was to examine the knowledge level regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors among participants of varying ages. Then to see if there was any type of previous education that led to greater knowledge levels.

Detailed Description

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

This study used a survey tool that assessed the participants' method(s) of prior education regarding cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Then the participant was asked eleven questions regarding CVD risk factors which tested their knowledge of those factors. Analysis was done to evaluate overall knowledge level of each group and compare the knowledge levels across age groups. Then analysis was done to see if any method(s) led to better knowledge level within and/or between age groups.
