Title: Mentorship to Promote Cardiac Rehabilitation Enrollment: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary: The current study is a randomized controlled trial, being conducted at two hospitals in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, involving the randomization of cardiac inpatients into an intervention group, in which they will receive mentorship from a volunteer cardiac rehabilitation peer mentor, and a control group, in which they will receive usual care. Patients in both groups will be tracked to determine if they are referred to cardiac rehabilitation and if they enroll in cardiac rehabilitation. We hypothesize that compared to cardiac inpatients who receive usual care, those cardiac inpatients who receive cardiac rehabilitation peer mentorship will be more likely to be referred to and enroll in cardiac rehabilitation.
