Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grant - Institute Community Support

The current project focuses on the software development of a website with mobile application by information technology (IT) experts in collaboration with reserchers, health providers, people at risk for heart disease to refine an evidence-informed Cardiovascular Assessment Screening Program (CASP) knowledge translation tool. Patient partners from various groups such as those not often involved in health research, that is, women, gender-diverse individuals, indigenous people as well as those in rural and remote communities will be participants in this project. These collaborating community partners will be informing the development of the website with mobile application that will enhance the accessibility of expert guidelines for heart health screening and management of risk factors for health practitioners and patients and to promote use in everyday clinical practice. A series of virtual and in-person meetings as well as an all-day workshop will take place to gain a variety of perspectives on the demo CASP website to gather feedback for further enhancements and refinement of this knowledge translation tool for dissemination.
