Validation of a Psychosocial Intervention on Body Image in Older People: An Experimental Design
Published on: May 31, 2021
Abstract:
Middle-aged men are less likely than other groups to access primary health care although they have a high incidence of many serious health problems. A health fair was organised by a primary care trust specifically targeting this patient group. Men were offered an 'MOT' health check, and given a range of health and lifestyle advice. A number of health problems were identified and the men were referred for further tests or treatment, or given advice on reducing their risk. The event was well attended and positively evaluated by the men who attended and the staff who participated.
