About this study

This study has two types of interventions. The clinics and patients are randomly assigned to either a control or intervention group. All clinics have both control and intervention patients. In the clinic intervention, we help doctors monitor patient information about the risk factors of heart disease and stroke. In the patient intervention, we contact patients by phone to discuss these risk factors before their doctor visits.
