Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: CHAP InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Cardiovascular Health Awareness Program (CHAP) intervention is an on-site drop-in, monthly, cardiovascular risk assessment program run by trained volunteers with community-led group health sessions that deliver education and information about access to community health resources. The education sessions will be delivered by national and provincial and local community organizations utilizing already developed material as much as possible, but maintaining consistency across both provinces. Health education sessions will include topics such as: Physical Activity, Healthy Eating, Stress, Tobacco Use, High Blood Pressure, Role of Pharmacist: How they can assist people, and Appropriate use of 9-1-1. This intervention will be held in a common room in selected subsidized housing buildings.
