The
second type of project is to take the message of the need for a healthy lifestyle
to the public in general.
The SHARP Bus
A mobile screening unit in the form of a highly visible
double decker bus which has travelled throughout Scotland and screened more than
20,000 people mainly at their place of work.
Another
project was the SHARP 'Eating for Life' video and accompanying workbook aimed
at secondary pupils. This was sent to al secondary schools in Scotland and was
incorporated into the Higher Still curriculum
The
third type of project involves SHARP not only initiating research into the prevention
of heart disease but also supporting the research of others. SHARP now has the
largest database of cardiovascular risk factors in the UK and research using this
database has great potential for furthering our knowledge.
