Cardiovascular disease
Several studies have shown that one of the leading causes of death among men in
the United States is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although high levels of blood
pressure and cholesterol have been identified as significant CVD risk factors, their
prevalence remains high in this population group. What factors (e.g., values, behaviors,
contributions from multiple professions and public health systems) need to be
quantitatively investigated to significantly control blood pressure and cholesterol levels
in American men? Please formulate two quantitative research questions to explore these factors,
within the context of a theory (Theory of Organizational Change, Social Cognitive Theory, or Socio-Ecological Model) you selected for this scenario.
