Just a suggestion - have you tried searching with health checks as two words ? rgds Barbara -----Original Message----- From: UK medical/ health care library community / information workers [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Medley Helen Sent: 27 July 2010 11:19 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: CVD healthchecks evidence needed - can anyone help? Dear all, I have been asked to find something/ anything on public awareness of, attitudes, motivation and barriers to CVD healthchecks in the UK and have a very tight deadline! I've searched across the databases and found most of the articles refer to public health interventions with CVD but not so much on the uptake of the healthchecks. I've found the below article which is the sort of thing I'm after: NHS Healthchecks and cardiovascular disease (CVD): consumer insight with white British, Asian and Afro-Caribbean audiences by the London Health Observatory Any help would be appreciated on the uptake of health checks within CVD or another area. Many thanks, Helen Helen Medley Assistant Librarian Fade Library Liverpool PCT Regatta Place Summers Road Liverpool L3 4BL 0151 285 4498 [log in to unmask] E-mail warning The information contained in this transmission is confidential and may be subject to public disclosure under the NHS Code of Openness or the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
