Health screenings. Screening for risk factors for chronic disease is one of the most widely used strategies to prevent mortality and morbidity for chronic disease in modern industrialized countries. Identification of risk factors, measured in blood or other body fluids, or by body function, like blood pressure, offers information about a person's overall risk for development of chronic diseases, like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Among public housing residents, we found in previous work that both rates of participation in screenings and the rates of positive screens for chronic disease was high among residents when the screenings were held inside the housing developments. Therefore, the study offered monthly screenings for blood pressure, smoking, and diabetes risk for individuals to learn about their chronic disease risk and be referred to a program within the Healthy Families intervention, to their own provider, or given information about how to obtain a provider if they did not have one. Due to expanded public insurance options, 94-97% of non-elderly adults in Massachusetts had health insurance at the time of this project, removing this classic barrier to care. The screenings were 3-4 hours in duration, held in a shared space in the development, were advertised for 2 weeks prior, and were administered by research study staff. HLAs attended all screenings to assist with linking residents to the primary care system as needed.
