Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grant - Institute Community Support

Healthy living is a cornerstone of disease prevention and improvement of health. Despite the striking importance of health behaviours, individuals do not necessarily understand their own personal risk and may be less engaged without this understanding. Most Canadians know that excess sodium causes high blood pressure but may not appreciate their own personal risk. With this grant support we will develop and disseminate a web-based, patient-centred health risk tool that addresses this gap by providing a personalized estimate of sodium consumption and, importantly, the health risk associated with this level of sodium consumption.
