Enhancement of rural community committee capacity for heart health promotion in Manitoba.
2001
The province of Manitoba is 'rural' by nature, although 70% of its one million people reside within two large urban centres. The Manitoba Heart Health Project (MHHP) province-wide survey (1989) showed that cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors were highest and heart health-related knowledge was lowest in the rural population. Working with rural communities, the MHHP Demonstration Project (1992-95) carried out rural heart health promotion using a rural community committee-driven approach with appropriate training, limited resources and at low cost.
