About this trial
People released from prison experience two times higher cardiovascular (CV) mortality than the general population, have a high prevalence of poor CV health and increased risk of CV events within 2 years of release. Access to high quality healthcare following release from prison is key to preventing poor health and CV outcomes. Our study team will investigate facilitators and barriers to health care access experienced by people released from prison.

Trial population
We are enrolling people who were formerly in prison. People on probation or on parole are responsible for meeting their own needs for health care, in contrast to people currently in prison, who receive these services from the prison system. Thus, people recently released from prison are a high-risk group for a range of poor health outcomes and poor access to care. For these reasons, the focus of this investigation is on people recently released from prison.
