The connection between risk factors and disease prevention are fundamental to the public health purpose. As the prevalence of cardiovascular disease was rising at alarming rates, public health professionals at Stanford University sought to clarify the most influential risk factors and most effective prevention techniques. They designed a program that analyzed well-supported risk factors, and employed a variety of communication channels. Their goal was to find both the risk factors and intervention methods that would produce the most dynamic effect on cardiovascular disease. The Stanford Five-City Project was a monumental public health program that gained a wealth of information about CVD prevention and prevention campaigns in general.
