Collaborative Approach to Reach Everyone With Familial Hypercholesterolemia (CARE-FH)

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Familial Hypercholesterolemia

In brief

Diagnosis rates of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are low in the United States, despite multiple guidelines and recommendations for screening and treatment of high cholesterol, to prevent heart attacks in those affected. Using a stepped-wedge design, the investigators plan to utilize tools from implementation science to improve uptake, acceptability, and sustainability of FH diagnostic programs in primary care settings. If successful, this study will provide tools generalizable to other health care systems to improve FH diagnosis rates.
