About this study
Official title: Effects of Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Visits and Older Community Dwellers With a Precarious State: An Experimental Study
This study evaluates the effects of MMFA visits on psychological, health, social conditions and personal interactions in older community dwellers with a precarious state and to determine whether these effects may change precarity.
Read the detailed description
Precarity is a vulnerable state exposing individuals to adverse health, psychological social events. Older adults are exposed to precarity, especially those who were the old generation of immigrants in Canada. Art-based activities have also been proposed to community dwellers and have shown positive effects on health outcomes and are determinants for well-being with aging. The effects of participatory art-based activities on precarity in older adults have never been examined. Recently, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) developed a new participatory art-based activity which is a 3 month-period of weekly museum visits for precarious populations.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Precarious social conditions
It will be used a questionnaire called: Evaluation of Health Precariousness and Inequalities in Health Examination Centers(EPICE). This questionnaire has 11 questions that summarize 90% a precarious state. The answer to each question is assigned a coefficient, the sum of the 11 answers gives the EPICES score. The score is continuous and ranges from 0 (no precarious social conditions) to 100 (maximum level of precarious conditions).The threshold of 30 defined a precarious state.
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Well-being
It will be used a questionnaire called: Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale questionnaire (WEMWBS).The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale questionnaire is a validated questionnaire composed by 14 positively worded item scale with five response categories. It covers most aspects of positive mental health (positive thoughts and feelings).
Measured: 3 months
