O Paidéia se mostra, buscando inovações norteadas pela necessidade de rupturas com o processo de trabalho em saúde que visam a integralidade do indivíduo. Um estudo qualitativo e quantitativo, focando 47 Unidades Básicas de Saúde, distribuídas nos 5 distritos de saúde de Campinas, onde se desenvolveu um estudo transversal através da aplicação de questionários com perguntas abertas e estruturadas em 200 cirurgiões-dentistas, com retorno de 121 questionários, sendo 76 (62,8%) do gênero feminino e 45 (37,2%) do gênero masculino; 109 (90,1%) foram contratados através de concurso público; 107 (88,4%) relataram que adotam critérios de risco em saúde bucal; 92 (76,0%) e percebem a importância na mudança assistencial; 65 (53,7%) consideraram as reuniões de equipe de referência muito importante; 87 (71,9%) responderam que estas reuniões são semanais; 47 (38,8%) consideraram a possibilidade de estabelecer vínculo com os familiares dos usuários; 55 (45,5%) realizavam visitas domiciliares; 17 (14,0%) são membros do núcleo de saúde coletiva; 12 (9,9%) participavam das reuniões do conselho local, e 58,7% tem curso de especialização, onde 29,8% são especialistas em Saúde Coletiva; a jornada de trabalho com carga horária irregular(36 horas) talvez seja o dificultador de firmar vínculo com famílias e usuários, como também estabelecer a integração com as equipes multidisciplinares / Abstract: The objective of this study is to verify the profile of the dental surgeon in multidisciplinary teams of the Paidéia Health Services Program in the municipality of Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Created in 2001, within the policies of the nationwide Family Health Program, the Paideia should produce a complementary effort within the local public heath system, innovating the relationships between patient and health provider and among the team members themselves. It is understood that these innovations place the emphasis on a holistic view of the individual and arise from the necessity of a break with past ways of viewing public health. A qualitative and quantitative study was produced, focusing on 47 Fundamental Health Units distributed in five districts in Campinas: a transversal study on the basis of a survey with open and closed questions was distributed to 200 dental surgeons, of which 121 actually filled out the questionnaire, 76 (62.8%) females and 45 (37.2%) males. 109 (90.1 %) had been hired by the system on the basis of competitive examination. 107 (88.4%) related the adoption of risk criteria for dental health. 92 (76.0%) understand the importance of the change that has taken place in assistential relationships; 65 (53.7%) hold the view that meetings of the multidisciplinary team are of the utmost importance. 87 (71.9%) responded that these meetings are weekly; 47 (38.8%) have considered the possibility of establishing a connection to the family members of the patients. 55 (45.5%) make house calls. 17 (14.0%) are members of a health collective; 12 (9.9%) participate in meetings of the local council; 58,7 are specialists where 29,8 are Public Health specialists. This study also concluded that irregularities in work schedules among part time and full time staff (36 hours) worked against the connection with families and patients, or making integration with the multidisciplinary teams more difficult to establish / Mestrado / Mestre em Odontologia em Saúde

In 2011, Brazilian Ministry of Health launched PMAQ-AB- Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (National program for improvement of access and quality to basic care) with the intention of promoting changes in the working process of basic care staff to make it more efficient and accurate. PMAQ-AB has three stages: admission and contracting; external assessment and qualification; and re-contracting, as well as a transverse development axis which contains: self-assessment, monitoring of indicators, ongoing training, institutional support and horizontal cooperation. A complete cycle average duration is two years and, since its creation, there were two complete cycles – 2012/2013 and 2014/2015 – while the third, ongoing, started in 2016. At Parana state’s tenth regional section of public health, 27 staffs of ESF - Estratégia de Saúde da Familia (Family health strategy program), participated in the two first cycles. Present field and document research, aims at analyzing possible changes occurred in the working process of ESF staffs who took part in the first and second cycles PMAQ-AB, in cities covered by the same Regional section of public health. To all universities that participated in the gathering of data at this stage of the program, it was possible to use the data bank of external assessments, on which the documental part of this research based itself. Field research consisted of a semi-structured interview with 21 ESF professionals who participated in the two first cycles of the programs. Quantitative data were analyzed according to simple descriptive statistics while the analysis of qualitative ones considered their content. Results showed both positive and negative effects of the program. As positive changes, it is possible to mention a better comprehension on PMAQ by basic care staffs, which reduced distress after external assessment process; organizing and registration of information generated by the staff; territorializing area of influence; scheduled client service and reception. However, when it comes to protocol use; staff meetings and local planning, very few changed. The adoption of PMAQ-AB, mostly results from the fact that it is linked to transfers of Federal funds to the cities, which represents an important input of funds to basic care, then it must be kept as well as expanded. The suggestion, therefore, is that there is bigger involvement of the staffs on the process of contracting of indicators alongside with new empirical studies. These should collate secondary data with field research data, to identify both convergent and different points and to reassess aspects of the program itself. / A Atenção Básica (AB) é a principal porta de entrada do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e deve ser a ordenadora do cuidado nos outros níveis do sistema. Em 2011, o Ministério da Saúde criou o Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB), com o objetivo de induzir mudanças nos processos de trabalho das equipes de AB, visando qualificar a atenção. O Programa possui três fases: adesão e contratualização; avaliação externa e certificação; e recontratualização, além de um eixo transversal de desenvolvimento que compreende: autoavaliação, monitoramento de indicadores, educação permanente, apoio institucional e cooperação horizontal. Um ciclo completo possui duração média de dois anos e desde sua criação foram realizados dois ciclos completos – 2012/2013 e 2014/2015 – e o terceiro, em curso, iniciou-se em 2016. Na 10ª Regional de Saúde do Paraná, 27 equipes da Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF), participaram dos dois primeiros ciclos. A presente pesquisa, de natureza documental e de campo, tem como objetivo geral analisar as possíveis mudanças ocorridas no processo de trabalho das equipes da ESF que participaram do primeiro e do segundo ciclos do PMAQ-AB, em municípios da 10ª Regional de Saúde do Paraná. Para a pesquisa documental, utilizaram-se os bancos de dados das avaliações externas, disponibilizados para as universidades que participaram da coleta de dados nesta fase do programa. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com 21 profissionais de ESF, que participaram dos dois ciclos e aceitaram fazer parte da pesquisa. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados com base na estatística descritiva simples e os qualitativos, na análise temática de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam continuidades e mudanças induzidas pelo Programa. As mudanças positivas estão relacionadas a uma melhor compreensão do PMAQ, por parte das equipes de AB, o que reduziu o desconforto com o processo de avaliação externa; organização e registro das informações geradas pela equipe; territorialização da área de abrangência; agenda programada e acolhimento, mas pouco avançou em termos de uso de protocolos; reunião de equipes e planejamento local. A adesão ao PMAQ-AB, em grande medida, resulta de sua vinculação ao repasse de recursos do Governo Federal para os municípios, o que representa um importante aporte de recursos à AB, devendo, portanto, ser mantido e ampliado. Sugere-se, assim, um maior envolvimento das equipes no processo de contratualização dos indicadores e a realização de outros estudos empíricos, que cotejem os dados secundários com dados de pesquisa de campo, para identificar as convergências e divergências, bem como para contribuir com a reavaliação de aspectos do próprio Programa.

Background: The control of malaria in pregnancy remains a large challenge in Burkina Faso, despite the adoption of control measures known to be effective. Known effective programs include individual measures, such as intermittent preventive treatment during pregnancy, and the use of long lasting insecticide nets and daily supplementation of ferrous sulphate (200 mg) along with folic acid. Besides these measures, health programs that aim at enhancing the well-being of the population and improve maternal and child health have emerged, including results-based financing (in 2014), a project promoting health in 130 communities (implemented in 2015), and free health care (implemented in 2016). This thesis attempts to assess the effects of health programs on the space–time patterns of malaria (morbidity and mortality) through routinely collected data in pregnancy and explore the various prediction approaches to address challenges in routine health data reporting. Methods: We utilized a substantial range of data and applied advanced quantitative approaches while considering the specific distribution of the data. Our thesis is based on the valorization (analyses) of malaria surveillance data (aggregated by space and time units) recorded in the health information system of Burkina Faso between 2011 and 2019. These analyses also integrate environmental remote sensing data, data from periodic surveys, and data from other sources. These data were coupled into a database. After performing appropriate descriptive analyses considering the complexity of the data design, we performed spatio-temporal Bayesian modeling to determine areas with high risk and assess the effect of health programs on the space–time patterns of malaria incidence among pregnant women at the community-level; to explore an approach to estimate health facility readiness from survey data designed to be regionally representative (and then quantify the effect of this readiness on severe-malaria cases and case fatality); and to explore the prediction approaches used to address challenges in routine health data reporting, thereby supporting a malaria early warning system. Results: Our results show spatial and temporal heterogeneity and indicate that the annual incidence of malaria increased between 2013 and 2018, while the mortality rate decreased significantly. Some communities with a high malaria burden experienced a reduction in their risk through the deployment of the health programs mentioned above. The risk of a pregnant woman dying from severe malaria was 2.5 times higher in districts with low operational capacity. Finally, our thesis proposed an approach to respond to crisis situations that would affect data collection and could be used to set the target or provide early warnings for epidemics or other notifications. Conclusion: Our thesis provides useful tools for disease surveillance in developing countries to help optimize the scarce resources in malaria high burden areas. The results of our thesis could be used by the Ministry of Health to strengthen the capacity of existing surveillance tools and to develop rational strategies and/or new tools for monitoring malaria cases and associated deaths in communities. / Contexte :La lutte contre le paludisme pendant la grossesse reste un grand défi au Burkina Faso, malgré l'adoption de mesures de contrôle dont l'efficacité est reconnue. Les programmes dont l'efficacité est reconnue comprennent des mesures individuelles, telles que le traitement préventif intermittent pendant la grossesse, l'utilisation de moustiquaires imprégnées d'insecticide de longue durée et la supplémentation quotidienne en sulfate ferreux (200 mg) ainsi qu'en acide folique. Outre ces mesures, des programmes de santé visant à accroître le bien-être de la population et à améliorer la santé maternelle et infantile ont vu le jour, notamment le financement basé sur les résultats (en 2014), le projet de promotion de la santé dans 130 communes (mis en œuvre en 2015) et la gratuité des soins de santé (mise en œuvre en 2016). Cette thèse tente d'évaluer les effets des programmes de santé sur les caractéristiques spatio-temporelles du paludisme (morbidité et mortalité) par le biais de données de routine collectées pendant la grossesse et d'explorer les différentes approches de prévision pour relever les défis de la rapportage systématique des données de santé. Méthodes :Nous avons utilisé un large éventail de données et appliqué des approches quantitatives avancées tout en tenant compte de la distribution spécifique des données. Notre thèse est basée sur la valorisation (analyses) des données de surveillance du paludisme (agrégées par unités spatiales et temporelles) enregistrées dans le système d'information sanitaire du Burkina Faso entre 2011 et 2019. Ces analyses intègrent également des données de télédétection environnementale, des données issues d'enquêtes périodiques et des données provenant d'autres sources. Ces données ont été couplées pour constituer une base de données. Après avoir effectué des analyses descriptives appropriées en tenant compte de la complexité de la conception des données, nous avons procédé à une modélisation bayésienne spatio-temporelle pour déterminer les zones à haut risque et évaluer l'effet des programmes de santé sur les tendances spatio-temporelles de l'incidence du paludisme chez les femmes enceintes au niveau communautaire ;pour explorer une approche permettant d'estimer la capacité opérationnelle des établissements de santé à partir de données d'enquête conçues pour être représentatives au niveau régional (et ensuite quantifier l'effet de cette capacité opérationnelle sur les cas de paludisme grave et la mortalité) ;et pour explorer les approches de prévision utilisées pour relever les défis relatifs au rapportaga systématique des données de santé, pouvant aussi servir à un système d'alerte précoce du paludisme. Résultats :Nos résultats montrent une hétérogénéité spatiale et temporelle et indiquent que l'incidence annuelle du paludisme a augmenté entre 2013 et 2018, tandis que le taux de mortalité a diminué de manière significative. Certaines communes où la charge du paludisme est élevée ont connu une réduction de leur risque grâce au déploiement des programmes de santé mentionnés ci-dessus. Le risque qu'une femme enceinte meure d'un paludisme grave était 2,5 fois plus élevé dans les districts ayant une faible capacité opérationnelle. Enfin, notre thèse a proposé une approche pour répondre aux situations de crise qui affecterait la collecte de données et pourrait être utilisée pour fixer l'objectif ou fournir des alertes précoces pour les épidémies ou autres notifications. Conclusion :Notre thèse fournit des outils utiles pour la surveillance des maladies dans les pays en développement afin de contribuer à optimiser les ressources limitées dans les zones à forte incidence de paludisme. Les résultats de notre thèse pourraient être utilisés par le ministère de la santé pour renforcer la capacité des outils de surveillance existants et pour développer des stratégies rationnelles et/ou de nouveaux outils de surveillance des cas de paludisme et des décès associés dans les communautés. / Doctorat en Sciences de la santé Publique / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has increased two percent from 2012–2014 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018) and the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has considered ASD to be a major health concern. The demands of caring for a child with developmental disabilities, including ASD can be overwhelming and the caregivers are experiencing heightened levels of stress in comparison to rearing typically developing children (Argumedes, Lanovaz, & Larivée, 2017; Lindo, Kliemann, Combes, & Frank, 2017). There is a need for more family support to implement more effective coping strategies to deal with the maladaptive functioning of the child with ASD (Hall, & Graff, 2011). The WE C.A.R.E. 2 Program is a nine-week evidence-based community pilot program that will provide an inclusive opportunity with additional family support and effective coping strategies e.g., breathing techniques, yoga postures and positive coping cognitions (e.g., positive self-talk and reappraisals) to decrease the stress levels of caregivers and promote healthy behaviors and healthy child development with the support and training from trained facilitators and a network of caregivers. This individualized plan will tailor to the needs of each dyad to create the necessary mechanisms of change (behavior, cognition, physiological, and sensory modulation) among the children and adults in the yoga group. The professional collaboration of different disciplines (occupational therapy, yoga therapist and teacher) will provide the appropriate modifications to the environment and provide the necessary input for the “just right” experience for a positive outcome.

Postal survey research was conducted between September and November, 1986, to gather information concerning the evolution, existence and extent of mental health services available to police personnel. Questionnaires were mailed to all 366 municipal, county, and state police agencies in the United States that employed 200 or more workers. Usable data were obtained from 76.8% of the agencies surveyed. Of the 281 respondents who returned usable data, 65.1% reported the existence of mental health services available to their police personnel. The majority of respondents (58.6%) perceived their mental health programs as being equally reactive and preventive in orientation. The most frequently reported existing components were outside agency counseling, stress management seminars, and testing of potential police recruits. Over half (54.8%) of the responding police agencies reported having between 10 and 19 components in their respective mental health programs. The implementation dates and evolution of twenty-five (25) components were examined, and specific components of various police agencies were also revealed. The majority of respondents (70.7%) reported their mental health programs were available to sworn and nonsworn personnel and their families. Almost all respondents (98.3%) viewed their programs as being cost effective. Also, most agencies were satisfied with the four treatment resources listed, which included in-house counseling, outside agency counseling, hospital in-patient programs, and alcohol/drug rehabilitation centers. Slightly over half (50.8%) of the respondents stated their service programs were entitled "Employee Assistance Program." Of the 300 staff workers holding mental health degrees, 101 were reported to have doctoral degrees in psychology. The most frequently reported personality theory utilized by staff members was eclecticism (48.5%). The prevailing high interest in police mental health services is discussed as well as possible reasons why some police managers may be apathetic towards the implementation of such services. Ways of educating police managers as to the benefits of police mental health programs are listed as well as topics for future research.

"The purpose of this study was to evaluate the program of physical education, health, and recreation of the Waco State School from 1933 to 1940...In view of these definite results, the conclusion is made that the Physical Education, Health, and Recreation Program of the Waco State Home has been successful in the following respects: 1. It has developed normal, happy children who have a chance to become useful, self-supporting children. 2. The Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Program of the Home has met and exceeded in many respects the educational standards for such activities. 3. The Waco State Home has performed a great educational service in remolding warped, underprivileged children."--leaf 2.

A atenção primária à saúde (APS) tem-se mostrado como proposição estratégica para sistemas de saúde no mundo. No caso brasileiro é alvo recente de investimento das políticas de saúde até como recurso reordenador do Sistema Único de Saúde, em termos de cobertura populacional e em termos de qualidade assistencial. No entanto, seu uso em documentos e propostas concretas de implantação denota diferentes interpretações do termo, que se considera produto de uma incompleta elaboração conceitual. Isto desencadeia diferentes respostas operacionais no setor saúde, gerando, ao contrário do esperado, heterogeneidades importantes de qualidade assistencial. Com o intuito de contribuir para a melhor compreensão e operação da APS, empreende-se um estudo de perspectiva histórica para identificar e contextualizar os diferentes significados que assume desde sua emergência até os anos 1994. Por meio do exame de documentos oficiais do governo brasileiro com propostas para o sistema de saúde, com ênfase nas Conferências Nacionais de Saúde, e de textos da produção intelectual no campo da Saúde Coletiva nesta temática, buscou-se por analise do conteúdo, o resgate das formulações de APS. Tendo como referência a teoria do trabalho em saúde, procurou-se examinar os conteúdos documentais em três dimensões: enunciação da política, proposição organizacional e definição dos processos de trabalho das práticas de saúde. Metodologicamente operou-se a mencionada análise segundo a história do conceito, definindo o conceito como o plano máximo de complexidade reflexiva e de capacidade explicativa na produção de conhecimento teórico. Para tal, hierarquizouse a construção desse conhecimento em termos da elaboração de idéias, noções e conceitos, nesta ordem. Delimitaram-se dois distintos períodos históricos: 1920 - 1978; 1978 - 1994, em razão da criação do termo APS em 1978, na Conferência de Alma-Ata. No primeiro encontraram-se idéias antecessoras da APS e no segundo, a construção da APS como noção, sendo que nas citadas três dimensões de exame dos textos, encontraram-se as maiores contribuições na política e na organização do sistema relativamente à definição dos processos de trabalho. Com isto aponta-se para a deficiente elaboração reflexiva acerca das práticas de saúde, o que equivale a dizer uma deficiência teórica do sistema de saúde sobretudo em relação a seus modelos tecnológicos e assistenciais, inclusive com grande diversidade conceitual desses últimos termos. Aponta-se por fim que, a partir de 1994, quando a APS torna-se questão central para o sistema de saúde, pode-se esperar um potencial maior de construção do conceito. / Attention given to PHC has been considered a strategic proposition for the health systems in the world. In Brazil it has recently been the target for political health investment and rearranger resource of the health system, in terms of populational coverage and in terms of assistance quality. Its use in documents and concrete implantation proposals denote different interpretations from the term which we consider to be the product of an incomplete conceptual elaboration. This triggers different operational responses in the health sector causing, as opposed to what was expected, important assistance quality heterogeneity. In order to contribute to a better comprehension and effectiveness of the PHC, we make a study of the historical perspectives to identify and put into context the different meanings it takes from its beginning until 1994.By examining official documents from the Brazilian Government with proposals for the health system with emphasis on National Health Conferences and intellectual production of the text in the field of collective health, we have searched through context analysis for the rescue of PHC formulation. Having as a reference the theory of work in the field of health, we tried to examine the contexts of the documents in three dimensions: Political enunciation, organizational proposition and a definition of the work process in the health area. Methodologically speaking, we operate the already mentioned analysis according to its concept s history, defining concept as the highest plan of reflexive complexity and ability to explain in the theoretical knowledge production. In order to do so, we have put the building of this knowledge in terms of ideas, notions and concepts, in this order. We have delimited two distinct historical periods: 1920 - 1978; 1978 - 1994, due to the creation of the term PHC in 1978 at the Alma-Ata Conference. In the first period we have found antecessor ideas of PHC and the in second one, the building up of the PHC as a notion. In the three dimensions of the text exams, we can find the biggest political contribution and in the organization of the system related to the definition of the work processes. With that we point the defective reflexive elaboration of health practices, in other words a theoretical deficiency of the health system, especially when related to its technological and assistance models, including a great conceptual diversity of these two last terms. It is pointed out that, from 1994 on, when PHC becomes the center issue for the health system, a bigger potential of building concept can be expected.

A Estratégia Saúde da Família surgiu como uma proposta para impulsionar a reestruturação da Atenção Básica em Saúde, tendo como foco o núcleo familiar. A inserção da Equipe de Saúde Bucal foi um importante componente nesta proposta de atendimento integral, vislumbrando um paradigma de atenção odontológica que promova melhorias nas condições de vida da população e a perspectiva de atuação dentro dos princípios da integralidade, desenvolvendo atividades de promoção, prevenção e recuperação da saúde bucal. O Agente Comunitário de Saúde é um profissional que emerge da comunidade e integra a equipe de saúde da família tornando-se um vínculo entre esses dois polos, trazendo as demandas da comunidade para a equipe e facilitando o acesso aos serviços. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar, através dos discursos dos cirurgiões-dentistas, auxiliares em saúde bucal e agentes comunitários de saúde, suas percepções sobre a integralidade das ações, a integração ensino-serviço, através do programa Pró- Saúde, e as implicações na rotina de trabalho desses profissionais. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, onde os profissionais integrantes das Equipes de Saúde Bucal e Agentes Comunitários de Saúde foram entrevistados com auxílio de um roteiro semiestruturado, abordando questões sobre o cotidiano de seu trabalho. Para análise dos dados foram utilizadas as metodologias do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (para os dados coletados da Equipe de Saúde Bucal) e Análise do Discurso (para os discursos dos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde). Os discursos mostraram a persistência de práticas odontológicas hegemônicas, com a dicotomia entre práticas clínicas intervencionistas e a prevenção. Os entrevistados demonstraram certa compreensão sobre os determinantes sociais, principalmente nos relatos abordando as visitas domiciliares. Neste estudo, porém, os discursos não evidenciaram mudanças nas atividades da Equipe de Saúde Bucal da Unidade de Saúde da Família cenário de prática do Pró-Saúde, sugerindo que o tempo (três anos) de atuação do programa ainda é curto para provocar transformações nas práticas cotidianas das equipes. Os depoimentos dos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde demonstraram sua frustração e decepção com a falta de resolubilidade das demandas trazidas por ele da comunidade, percebendo as limitações de seu trabalho. Verificou-se também a falta de integração e deficiências de comunicação entre a equipe e o Agente Comunitário de Saúde, e a ausência de apoio, inclusive por parte da gestão. / The Family Health Strategy has emerged as a proposal to promote the restructuring of Primary Health Care, focusing on the family unit. The insertion of the Oral Health Team was an important component in the proposed comprehensive care, envisioning a paradigm dental care that promotes improvements in the living conditions of the population and the prospect of acting within the principles of comprehensiveness, developing promotional activities, prevention and recovery oral health. The Community Health Worker is a professional that emerges from the community and is a staff family health becoming a link between these two poles, bringing the community\'s demands for the team and facilitating access to services. This study aimed to analyze, through the discourses of dentists, dental health aides and community health workers, their perceptions about the integration of actions, integrating teaching and service through the Pro-Health program, and the implications on routine work of these professionals. This is a qualitative study, where the professional members of the oral health teams and community health workers were interviewed with the aid of a semi - structured interview, addressing questions about their everyday work. The methodologies of the Collective Subject Discourse (for data collected from the Oral Health Team) and Discourse Analysis were used (for the speeches of Community Health Workers) for data analysis. The speeches showed the persistence of hegemonic dental practices, with the dichotomy between interventional clinical practice and prevention. Respondents showed some understanding of the social determinants, especially in reports addressing home visits. In this study, however, the talks did not show changes in the activities of the Oral Health Team of the Health Unit of Family Practice Pro-Health scenario, suggesting that the time (three years) of operation of the program is still short to induce changes in everyday practices of teams. The statements of the Community Health Workers showed their frustration and disappointment with the lack of resolution of the demands brought by him from the community, realizing the limitations of their work. There was also a lack of integration and communication deficiencies between the team and the Community Health Workers, and the absence of support, including from management.

This study evaluated a mandatory fitness assessment and counseling program designed to reduce coronary risk factors related to diet and exercise. The study was conducted at a southwestern graduate level theological institution. There were 19 mandatory and 22 voluntary participants. Each subject initially had either high blood pressure, high percentage body fat, or high total cholesterol. Significant changes were made within both groups regarding body fat percentage and diastolic blood pressure. Total cholesterol levels decreased for the voluntary group only. The mandatory group significantly improved their exercise level, yet still showed a significantly less positive attitude towards exercise. Overall, the fitness assessment and counseling was somewhat beneficial for both the mandatory and voluntary groups.
