What this trial studies

A Mobile Healthcare Unit travels to Indigenous and remote communities to conduct comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessments and provide tailored preventive care. The program uses community involvement, translated materials, and culturally appropriate practices to identify barriers and facilitators to prevention. Assessments include physical exams, blood markers, ECG, stress testing, and body composition measures, with data collection coordinated by Laval University researchers and community partners. Recruitment and data collection are led in collaboration with the communities and local health departments, ensuring local translators and participants’ perspectives are integrated. This pilot focuses on equity, inclusivity, and generating data in underserved populations to inform future preventive strategies.
