Abstract
A school-based experimental study was carried out to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a dietary intervention program, which was based on behavioral intervention theories and methods for adolescents and their hypertensive parents in Taiwan. Eighty students with a positive family history of essential hypertension were selected and randomly assigned to the treatment or control group.
The intervention program increased the students' knowledge of HBP and perceived HBP risk, and decreased the hypertensive parent's urinary sodium. On the one hand, the importance of the students' knowledge of HBP and self-efficacy for sodium restriction were emphasized because they were asssociated with urinary sodium; On the other hand, hypertensive parents' demographic variables including sex, age, education, food cost, and even their health perception play an important role in determining their own and their children's sodium intake. The implications and possibilities for future applications and research are interesting.
