Summary
Brief summary
The objective of this study is to determine whether a community-based salt reduction program
can reduce average salt consumption levels. Baseline levels of salt consumption were measured
in 2011, the salt reduction program was then implemented, and now in 2014 investigators are
remeasuring salt consumption levels in the community. The hypothesis investigators are
testing is that the salt reduction program will have led to a change in salt consumption
levels between 2011 and 2014. The study is being done in Lithgow, a regional town in New
South Wales , Australia.
