Design issues in the combination of international data from two rural community cardiovascular intervention programs
Objectives: To compare and contrast two rural cardiovascular community intervention programs (CCIP) in northern Sweden and the US by discussing the methods used to select and combine similar data from two separately designed and implemented CCIP in order to describe and evaluate their effectiveness...
