The NHLBI, as demonstrated by the
attached survey (Attachment 1), seeks to learn the following
through this study proposal: a) parents' awareness of
cardiovascular disease risk factors in children and knowledge of
what to do for risk reduction, b) parents' level of efficacy toward
taking action to promote cardiovascular health and reduce risk
factors, and c) parents' behaviors related to cardiovascular
health. The Program will use the information for planning
(development of content/messages, materials, and partnerships) and
evaluation. Results of the information collection will enable NHLBI
to identify the gaps in knowledge and awareness and target specific
information in communications with parents. NHLBI will also be able
to determine parents' efficacy related to the actions needed to
promote their children's heart health, allocating resources for the
campaign to provide support to overcome perceived barriers. Without
this information, NHLBI risks the possibility of inefficiently and
ineffectively implementing outreach activities.
