Leveraging the built environment to promote physical activity in primary care settings: implementation of a precision health strategy
EF 2022-23
Résumé
Even though there are proven ways of helping people to be more physically active, most continue to be inactive. This is concerning because many chronic diseases could be avoided, or delayed, if the population were generally more active.
When family doctors recommend to their patients that they do more physical activity, it often fails. In this project, we are describing a plan to support family doctors and increase the chances that their patients take up exercise and stick with it. We will do this in 3 steps: first, we will discuss what special circumstances to take into account when recommending exercise- things like where people live, and we will agree on a strategy to help patients be more active. Then, we will test this strategy in a few places. Finally, we will discuss how to repeat this strategy in different places. We will do this in Tamale, Ghana and in Montreal, Canada, in order to learn from each other's experiences and to share solutions.
