Subjects: Four hundred and fifty-three respondents from an original sample of 1616 randomly-selected residents. Interventions: Community health campaign to reduce cardiovascular disease.

Sponsorships: National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia, Epidemiology and Health Information Branch of Queensland Health Department.
