Objectives:
To evaluate student pharmacists' impact on health fair participant knowledge of selected disease states and to evaluate the intent of health fair participants with abnormal screening results to seek follow-up care within 1 month of screening.
Methods:
Health fair participants were assessed for changes in their knowledge of specific diseases before and after screenings. Participants' intent to seek health care was assessed through a survey instrument developed using Rosenstock's Health Belief Model.
Results:
Increases in participant knowledge of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and body mass index were significant, and 78% of participants with abnormal results intended to contact a provider.
Conclusions:
Student pharmacists' had a positive impact on health fair participants' disease knowledge and intent to follow up with a provider.
