Brief summary (registry, in English)
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted primary care across Canada. Inequities in prevention activities and chronic disease management likely increased but the extent is unknown. Pragmatic interventions are required to prioritize patients and improve the quality of primary care post-COVID. In AFTERMATH, the investigators will conduct a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT) at the largest primary care Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN) in Ontario, focused on a highly marginalized population: adults living with mental illness and one or more additional chronic diseases. The investigators will test an intervention that builds on the investigators' past work and combines data and supports to primary care providers to improve quality of life, reduce gaps in prevention activities and improve chronic disease management. The investigators' project will result in new evidence on ways to improve access to care and reduce inequities, and inform future efforts to use data beyond COVID-19.
