Le Éducœur-en-route kit was developed from the Éducœur study conducted at the IRCM by a research team made up of physicians, psychologists, nutritionists, kinesiologists and nurses.
Based on its experience with the Éducœur study, the IRCM research team created a teaching kit designed specifically for family medicine groups (FMG) in order to support their efforts in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. This kit contains an evaluation questionnaire on patients’ lifestyle habits as well as 61 informative and educational leaflets, which target the behaviours revealed in the questionnaire and provide practical solutions for different areas of cardiovascular health.
