Abstract
Carried out a study on a sample of men (N = 652) at high risk or coronary heart disease (CHD) in order to note the dimensions of change for the risk factors of smoking blood pressure, cholesterol, selected intervention and psychosocial variables. The principal components analyses revealed a multi‐dimensional structure with some bipolar change factors. Implications for the design and implementation of behaviorally oriented risk factor programs were discussed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
