The leading cause of premature death for Canadian women is cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD in women is complex, it varies across the lifespan and it is influenced by both sex and gender. Our overall goal is to describe the use of peer support interventions for women with CVD (ischemic heart disease, stroke, and heart failure) using an evidence map. We will use the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory and extract data from peer support interventions that relate to context (i.e., age, ethnicity, racism, and gender - identity, roles, relations, institutionalized), process (i.e., one-on-one, group, on-line) and outcomes (i.e., health status, health-related quality of life, healthcare costs).
