Abstract

The prevention of cardiovascular disease in at risk persons poses a major challenge to behavioural health educators. Previous research on the development of reliable methods for teaching such people to control their blood pressure, thereby avoiding the development of essential hypertension and associated health dangers, has been reviewed elsewhere (Mullins & Sharpley, 1988). Data from previous studies are inconclusive, principally due to major methodological limitations in that research, but also because of failure to focus upon generalisation and maintenance to the real world of the subject. Several issues for future research are discussed in the present paper, with some specific suggestions made regarding dependent and independent variables, experimental design, subject population and procedure.
