This is the first systematic study to assess the effectiveness of delivering telephone health education to older adults during the outbreak of SARS in Hong Kong. Results of the study supported that telephone health education was effective in relieving anxiety and improving knowledge of the main transmission routes of SARS in older adults, but not fostering practice of preventing SARS. This is the first systematic study to assess the effectiveness of telephone health education in improving older adults' knowledge and practice of preventive measures during the SARS epidemic.	./cache/cord-307490-b4un4703.txt	./txt/cord-307490-b4un4703.txt
