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.
