%X A priority in the NSW Chronic Disease Prevention Strategy 2003&#8211;2007 is to: Design, test, develop and evaluate a state-based pilot of an overarching &#39;integration&#39; strategy to draw together existing programs and activities dealing with tobacco, alcohol, nutrition, physical activity and mental health promotion with a view to progressing state-wide implementation if the evaluation results are favourable. It is proposed that this priority be addressed through a chronic disease prevention campaign promoting changes in knowledge, attitudes and practices on contributory risk factors to decrease the prevalence of chronic disease among 35&#8211;55 year olds. For the purposes of this campaign, chronic diseases include cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic lung diseases and type 2 diabetes.
