Self Reported Impact of FHH Modules:

“We need more education about good habits and life style--try, try, try, no quit!”

“I went to the doctor and he said I am fat. Now I exercise and eat more vegetables.”

“People is motivated by activities and we can learn much better.”

In this pilot study we learned the following:

1. FHH is viewed as a risk factor for chronic disease among Utah Hispanics.
2. FHH creates communication that builds family support for maintaining positive lifestyle changes.
   
3. Changes survey format to meet cultural needs were needed.
   
4. Misconceptions exist about heredity among Hispanics. We had to reinforce that disease, allergies, and conditions have a genetic component.
5. Genetic variance exists among family members:

· Perception of risk vary

· Variety of incentives needed!
