Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Cardiovascular diseases remain the main cause of mortality in Canada. While effective interventions are available for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease,there continue to be gaps between the potential reduction in risk that could be achieved by effectively managing these risk factors and levels of risk factor control currently in clinical practice. This study will evaluate the ability of a different model of risk factor care using other health providers assisting family doctors, along with information aids for patients and health professionals,to achieve better levels of cardiovascular risk factor control in adults.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Multi-faceted Cardiovascular Decision Support

Risk factor active surveillance, multi-disciplinary disease management and decision aid intervention

Behavioral: Active risk factor surveillance
Cardiovascular risk status assessment followed by active surveillance and physician review where risk factor control is suboptimal
Other: Control Usual Care

Usual care in a wait-list control arm that receives the experimental intervention after 6 months.

Behavioral: Active risk factor surveillance
Cardiovascular risk status assessment followed by active surveillance and physician review where risk factor control is suboptimal
