To help physicians address the growing problem of noncompliance in patients, the American Heart Association (AHA) has made available a free kit of health care materials called "America's Hidden Health Threat Professional Toolkit," a folder of materials for use with patients. Materials in the kit include the AHA primary and secondary cardiovascular disease guidelines, a scientific statement on the multilevel compliance challenge, a compliance poster and a sample patient education sheet.

Free copies of the tool kit and the patient booklet, "Knock Out America's Hidden Health Threat," can be requested by calling 800-AHA-USA1. Patient education sheets and other items can be obtained on the compliance section of the AHA Web site (http://www.american heart.org/CAP/).
