Interventions
Motivational interview (MI)
The MI intervention is adapted from the CHEERS study intervention (M Health Fairview) found to be effective in promoting lipid screening in patients at increased risk for FH. Within one month of completion of the baseline survey, a study coordinator, who received training in motivational interview integrity, will conduct a 20-40-minute (depending on participant needs) telephone or virtual (zoom) interview with participants randomized to this arm. Participants will be assessed on their readiness to get their cholesterol checked and discuss with family members the risk of FH.
