Collaboration in coronary heart disease prevention.
Health visitors are ideally placed in primary care to offer effective dietary and life-style advice as part of a team approach to coronary heart disease prevention, write Alan Jones et al. Results from a dietary and life-style intervention trial programme suggest that dietitians, who are limited in numbers, should be used as a resource to provide expert dietary advice and training to the more numerous health visitors. In this way CHD risk factor identification can be developed into effective intervention.
