Applied research focused on developing programs and investigating the effectiveness of such programs by quasi-experimental study. During January 2017 - June 2018, using the concept of Intervention Mapping (IM) to implement Triple T (Team building, Tool, Targeting) was conducted. The program included a self-care training workshop to prevent CVD in 123 volunteers who had CV risk score&gt; 30%. Family care team did continuity care and home visit. Data were collected before and after 6, 12 months.Most of them were female with age of 70.27 + 6.88 years. At the 6th month, risk groups had more knowledge (P-value &lt;0.001), significantly reduced sweetened consumption behavior (P-value &lt;0.001) and significantly reduced fat consumption behavior (P-value &lt;0.001). At the 12th month, 109 subjects were monitored. Forty three percent changed their higher risk to lower risklevels. In addition, blood cholesterol decreased statistically significant from 187.20 to 182.78 mg/dL (P-value 0.002). No incidence of cardiovascular complications was found.Therefore,we should establish policies to promote the use of this guidance for all people who had CV risk score &gt; 30%.</p> ER -
