An interventional study of Patient Education in Cardiovascular Risk Factors, sponsored by Kuwait Institute for Medical Specialization. Status unknown. Open to participants aged 30 Years to 70 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-03-26.

Patient's awareness of their risk factors for heart disease and their active involvement in their own management plan can help improve their adherence to treatment and their risk profile. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of patient education and awareness of heart disease risk factors on compliance to medication and lifestyle modification.
Prospective cluster randomized interventional study with primary health care clinics as clusters.Clinics will be randomized to conventional care or to structured patient education in addition to care. Trained physicians will extract information from the patient medical record and will conduct a personal interview with the participants, after they finish with their routine visit, to fill a case report form (CRF)
CRF will include the following items:
Patients attending clinics that are randomized to structured patient education will receive education targeting all the risk factors they have. They will be informed about specific evidence -based target values they should achieve for each of the risk factors. Their compliance to prescribed medications will be encouraged and specific advice about improving compliance will be given. To achieve this physicians in the education clinics are going to use two items:
Follow up visits will be scheduled at 2 months, 6 months and 12 months after the initial visit. For patients in both education and conventional clinics, compliance to medications will be assessed and the degree of risk factor control will also be determined through specific measurements that include number of cigarettes smoked, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body mass index and waist circumference, HBA1C and LDL values.
133 studies on the registry are indexed under Patient Compliance; 42 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 2,000 is above the median of 120 across 99 interventional studies indexed under Patient Compliance.
