This report summarizes the activities of a planning workshop dealing with school-based education on elevated blood cholesterol. The workshop brought together a group of professionals in a collaborative planning process designed to identify: (1) the current level of knowledge about blood cholesterol nutrition, and diet among school-age children; (2) informational objectives regarding blood cholesterol, nutrition, and diet for school-age children; (3) barriers to implementing health education/promotion programs in schools; (4) types of school-based programs and materials that should be developed to promote and expand an awareness of blood cholesterol as a significant health issue; and (5) the roles that a wide range of organizations can play in promoting and disseminating blood cholesterol education programs and materials in the schools. Five appendices make up the greater part of the document and include a precis of the general discussion, reports from small groups, the summary discussion, the preworkshop "focus paper," and a list of workshop participants.
