This report analyzes the complexities of evaluatingprevention, remediation, and rehabilitation treatments for cardiovascular disease. A comparison oftreatments revealed that distinct differences exist in terms of motivation ofsubjects to participate and steps required for a maximum treatment effect. Large-scale prevention programs are generally the most complex of all interventions to complete. If complex health programs are initially subdivided into theirdetailed planning and implementation steps, proper assessments of each step will lead to a much less difficult comprehensive evaluation.
