Funding was received from the Foundation of the National Lipid Association to develop a computer-based interactive learning tool designed to aid patients in achieving target blood cholesterol levels through diet and physical activity. We are seeking practicing health professionals in lipid management who are willing to test the learning tool with their patients. The program will be provided on a CD that is compatible with both Windows and MAC operating systems. You will be asked to use the program and provide comprehensive feedback via a questionnaire within 8 weeks. There is no lower or upper limit on the number of patients who can test the learning tool in your practice. Once your assessment has been received, you will be permitted to keep the program free of charge and you will be compensated $150 for your help. We plan to summarize the results of the questionnaires that you complete and revise the tool as appropriate. Our goal is to make this tool available to NLA members. If you are interested in learning more about the project, please email Jennifer at jas58@psu.edu or call (1-866-778-3438), mention the Lipid Study, and leave your name and a contact number. This study is being conducted in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at Penn State University and has received IRB approval.
