Exploring The Meaning And Experience Of Cardiovascular Health Of People Who Live With Severe And Persistent Mental Illness.
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$89,114.00

People with serious mental illness die up to 25 years before their peers, mostly from cardiovascular disease. Despite extensive research, we have made little impact on addressing this health inequity. By exploring the experience and meaning of personal cardiovascular health to people with severe mental illness, this study aims to generate new knowledge that will inform the tailoring of cardiovascular health promotion interventions that meet the unique requirements of this vulnerable population.
