| description | A Vermont health risk survey was performed to gain information on health knowledge and behaviors of the population. Telephone interviews with 1,594 individuals ascertained respondents' demographic characteristics, preventive health behaviors, and health knowledge. Risk prevalence was obtained on five health risks: alcohol (12%), smoking (33%), lack of exercise (70%), overweight (39%), and non-use of seatbelts (86%). Low income, less education, and blue collar occupation status were associated with increased risks of smoking, lack of exercise, and non-use of seatbelts. Increased prevalence of certain risks are associated with the 18-24 year old age group; 32% of those males reported an alcohol risk and 94% reported non-use of seatbelts. Combined risk scores were increased in groups with low income, less education, and blue collar occupations. These variations in health behaviors by social group were not explained by differences in health knowledge. Design of primary prevention activities needs to (1) be community wide, (2) utilize information on the epidemiology of health behaviors, (3) influence diverse community groups and (4) intervene before risk behaviors are established. |
