Dear List Members:

As part of the development and future evaluation phase of a telephone
counselling service specifically aimed at increasing the awareness of women
about their risk of heart disease and three relevant risk factors - I would
first like to ask if anyone has tried this and secondly is anyone aware of
the application of a theoretical model of behaviour change to the context of
women and heart health? Anyone used Transtheoretical Model, Theory of
Planned Behaviour, Protection Motivation Theory ............. Just trying to
avoid re-inventing the wheel, particularly in regard to the development of
measures.
Thanks for any thought, suggestions or recommendation you might have, Alan.
