Abstract

Since 1977, volunteer classes for people wishing to study about prevention of hypertensions have been held in Health Centers in Yokohama City. After 1982, the classes began to be held on regular basis. Dietitians were not necessarily sure of the curricula for the classes because of their inability to assess the effective behavioral improvements in the attendants. Authors tried to improve this situation by jointly preparing improved curricula based on clear identification of objectives, resources, strategy, time table and pre-test and post-test evaluations in accordance with the health education method promoted by WHO.<br>The study was conducted on 80 attendants during the period from August, 1979 to March, 1980 in 7 Health Centers. They were given follow-ups in respect of all the items described in two short questionnaires and records of two meals (taken on two days). The curriculum adopted is oriented toward changing the food pattern in an effort to prevent hypertension.<br>Authors believe that they have found a possibility of improving the dietary patterns of clients despite many difficulties in the behavioral changes.
