Educational and behavioral strategies for successful cholesterol management.
Successful management of elevated cholesterol requires a change of behaviors that raise cholesterol and adherence to behaviors that lower it. A partnership between patient and provider that is characterized by mutual trust enhances implementation of an effective treatment plan. Educational and behavioral strategies can be individualized subsequent to a comprehensive assessment. Monitoring efforts and results provide feedback about goal attainment and adjustment of the plan.
