Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Women who have been hospitalized at UOHI in the past year with stable CHD, including: AMI; stable angina with corroborating evidence of CHD; recent CABG; or percutaneous coronary intervention (to allow examination of mechanisms linking the intervention and psychosocial well-being with health and healthcare outcomes);
- Women ≥ 18 years of age (the age of consent in Ontario);
- Women able to read and understand English or French;
- Women who reside in Ontario and are eligible for Ontario Health Insurance Plan (to permit linkage with administrative data housed at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences \[ICES\]);
- Women available to participate over the next 6 months (the intervention and data collection takes place over this time frame -- reducing the probability of missing data);
- Women able to provide informed consent.
Exclusion
- Women who have been hospitalized primarily for valve replacement or repair, HF, pulmonary hypertension, endocarditis or pericarditis (to reduce heterogeneity and avoid confounding when examining mechanisms linking the intervention and psychosocial well-being with health and healthcare outcomes);
- Women who, in the opinion of the UOHI clinical psychologist, manifest psychiatric illness or cognitive impairment that would preclude participation in W@H (i.e. they are unable to benefit from the intervention, to prevent disruption of other participants).
