The Healthy Options Feasibility Study

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Obesity; Sedentary Lifestyle; Dyslipidemia; Hypertension; Cigarette Smoking; Diabetes
• Interventions: Behavioral: CVD risk profile

• Registration Number: NCT00746460
• Lead Sponsor: McGill University

Brief Summary

The investigators hypothesize that having health care providers other than physicians within a "Groupe de Médecine de Famille" conduct cardiovascular risk assessments and teach lifestyle interventions to primary prevention patients will increase the likelihood that patients will adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles. These objectives will be supported by providing subjects with a cardiovascular risk profile estimating the subject's risk of cardiovascular disease and teaching them how to use the resources related to lifestyle changes available on the www.myhealthcheckup.com Web site.
