Abstract
Heart and blood vessel diseases also called cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are
the most feared the world over, and responsible for more deaths in the
United states than cancers, unintentional injuries, drug abuse and other
causes combined, (Healthy People 2010). The ever-expanding roles of the
extension professional, his/her proximity with the grass-root clientele, could
make the extension professional one of the most valuable front-line
interventionist in CVD prevention education, and improving the quality of lives
for Americans. As active partners in cardiovascular disease prevention,
extension educators need basic knowledge of the etiology and risk factors of
CVD, such as presented in this program which has been successfully used in
urban as well as rural settings.
Conference participants will understand the components of a science-based
but extension-friendly heart disease literacy (curriculum) that emphasizes
the alterable risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Familiarity with the use
of an evaluation tool to determine post teaching behavioral-change impact is
also discussed.
Session Objectives: Understand:
1. Background of CVD – why the fuss?
2. Components of the Oklahoma Literacy
for CVD Prevention Education
3. Ask Questions
Background of CVD
Leading Cause of Death in America
910,000 deaths annually
1 death every 31 seconds
More common in people 65 >
Increasing in ages 15-34
70 million Currently have CVD
Cost in 2006 Estimated at $403
Billion
