    Author: Nieto-Vázquez M, Tejeda MJ, Colin J, Matos A.
    Journal: J Cult Divers; 2009; 16(4):171-7. PubMed ID: 20069805.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an osteoporosis educational intervention on knowledge, health beliefs, and self-efficacy in college-age Puerto Rican women. The Health Belief Model and Purnell Model formed the theoretical framework for the study. Three hypotheses were tested with a convenience, randomized sample of 51 experimental and 54 control subjects, ages 18-25. The findings support the hypotheses that educational intervention improved osteoporosis knowledge, health beliefs, but had no effect on self-efficacy. Results and directions for future research are discussed.
