Clinical Trial Summary

This project aims to improve the cardiovascular health of seniors living in subsidized housing by implementing the successful community-based Cardiovascular Health Awareness Program (CHAP). CHAP is a patient-centred, interdisciplinary, multi-pronged, community-led CVD and stroke prevention and management program designed to prevent and reduce the impact of cardiovascular disease in older adults. The program addresses common cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as smoking, physical activity and poor diet by raising awareness of health and community resources available to encourage self-care and appropriate management of cardiovascular disease. A randomized controlled trial will be used to evaluate the impact of CHAP on healthcare utilization by older adults living in subsidized housing.


Clinical Trial Description

This project aims to improve the cardiovascular health of seniors living in subsidized housing by implementing the successful community-based Cardiovascular Health Awareness Program (CHAP). Residents in subsidized housing are considered to be a vulnerable population because of their low income and tend to be in poorer health; with a multitude of chronic illnesses, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes. This project will build on the success of CHAP in other provinces. The program has been shown to reduce blood pressure and CVD-related hospitalization costs. CHAP is a patient-centred, interdisciplinary, multi-pronged, community-led CVD and stroke prevention and management program designed to prevent and reduce the impact of cardiovascular disease in older adults. The program addresses common cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as smoking, physical activity and poor diet by raising awareness of health and community resources available to encourage self-care and appropriate management of cardiovascular disease. Taking the form of a randomized controlled trial, the sample will be subsidized housing buildings (low income) for those aged 55 years and over. During CHAP monthly assessment sessions, participants will 1) complete a consent form, 2) complete a cardiovascular risk profile form, 3) undergo blood pressure measurement using an automated blood pressure measuring device, 4) receive targeted healthy lifestyle and preventive care materials, 5) be invited to participate in group health education sessions. Those patients identified at high risk will be assessed by a health professional and referred to a family physician for timely and appropriate follow-up.. The impact this program will have on health care utilization (emergency visits, cardiovascular hospitalization rates) will be measured using administrative databases. ;
