Adult Immunization & Health Screening and Education Project: A Model for Improving Minority Health – Evaluation
October 26, 2005
An overview of the three-year Adult Immunization & Health Screening and Education Project carried out by the Colorado Visiting Nurse Association (CVNA). During that time, the CVNA administered over 8,000 flu shots and over 100 hepatitis A and B series shots to high-risk minority adults, and screened high-risk adults for diabetes and high total cholesterol. The results of these efforts were encouraging, including improved dietary and lifestyle changes among participants.
