Primary Behavioural Outcome
Global Lifestyle Behaviour	Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II14	52	Six domains of lifestyle behaviour (physical activity, stress management, nutrition, health, interpersonal support, spiritual growth) are assessed using a 1 (never) to 4 (routinely) response scale. Items are summed (6 to 208) or averaged (1 to 4) to obtain total and domain scores. Higher scores indicate better lifestyle behaviour.	- Stroke; - General population; - Metabolic syndrome; - Diabetes; - Obesity
Secondary Behavioural Outcomes
Daily walking physical activity	StepWatch Activity Monitor	n/a	Participants will wear the StepWatch Activity Monitor attached for the waking hours of 4 consecutive days. The monitors will be individualized for each person’s walking speed (e.g. slow, normal, or fast walking), pattern (e.g. normal, no variation in speed, lots of variation in speed), and gait (e.g. normal, shuffled). Daily step counts will be multiplied by 2 to obtain total daily steps (for both legs) and divided by 4 days to obtain the mean daily steps. Higher scores indicate more steps taken.	- Stroke
Diet – Fibre and Fat intake	SmartDiet Questionnaire – Canadian Version15	26	Weekly number of fibre (grain products; fruits, vegetables, and legumes) and fat (dairy products; meats; added fats; and desserts) servings are assessed and used to estimate total weekly grams of fibre and fat eaten. Higher grams of fibre and lower grams of fat indicate a more optimal diet (i.e. 25–35 grams/day = optimum fibre intake, < 13 grams/day = low fibre intake; 100 (male) and 90 (female) grams/day = high fat diet, 75 and 65 grams/day = lower fat diet.	- Cardiac rehab population
Medication adherence	Morisky Medication Adherence Scale16–18	8	Medication adherence and barriers to taking medication are assessed using 8 items. Use of the ©MMAS is protected by US Copyright laws.

Secondary Physiological Outcomes
Blood pressure	Omron HEM-907XL using the American Heart Association blood pressure recommendations19	n/a	After 5 minutes of resting in the sitting position, the participant’s systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) will be taken at the brachial artery using a digital blood pressure monitor (Omron HEM-907XL; Omron Healthcare Inc., Hoffman Estates, IL, USA). Two subsequent measurements will be taken, two minutes apart, and the three measurements will be averaged. If there is >5 mm Hg difference between consecutive measurements, additional measurements (to a maximum of five in total) will be taken. Higher blood pressure (over 140/90 mmHg) is indicative of higher stroke risk.	- National recommendations
Cholesterol	High and Low Density Lipoprotein; Total cholesterol	n/a	Cholesterol profiles (mmol/L) will be obtained using hospital outpatient bloodwork services.	n/a
Glucose	12-hour Fasting Glucose; HbA1c	n/a	Glucose profiles (mmol/L and HbA1c %) will be obtained using hospital outpatient bloodwork services.	n/a
Inflammation	C-Reactive Protein	n/a	C-Reactive Protein levels (mg/L) will be obtained using hospital outpatient bloodwork services.	n/a
Micronutrients (folate, B12)	Homocysteine	n/a	Homocysteine levels (umol/L) will be obtained using hospital outpatient bloodwork services.	n/a
Body composition	Body Mass Index; Waist-to-hip ratio	n/a	Body weight (kilograms) and height (metres) will be measured using a calibrated digital scale (Seca Robusta 813; Seca North America, Chino, CA, USA) and a wall-mounted measuring tape. Body mass index is calculated as body weight/height squared. Waist circumference will be measured at the level of the umbilicus. A non-stretch, flexible measuring tape will be placed in a horizontal plane around the participant’s umbilicus while standing. Measurement will be taken at the end of a normal expiration. Hip circumference will be measured at the level of the greater trochanters.	n/a
Tertiary Health Outcomes
Health-related quality of life	Medical Outcomes Study: Short Form-3620	36	Two domains of health-related quality of life (Physical and Mental) are assessed using various response scales. The Physical and Mental scores are linearly transformed to a standardized score varying from 0 (negative health) to 100 (positive health).	- Various
Depressive symptoms	Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale21	20	Frequency of depressive symptoms over the past week is assessed using a 0 (rarely or none of the time) to 3 (most of the time) response scale. Items responses are summed to obtain a total score varying from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate more frequent depressive symptoms.	- Stroke
Cognitive function	Montreal Cognitive Assessment22	22	Eight domains of cognitive function (Attention and concentration; Executive function; Memory; Language; Visuoconstructional skills; Conceptual thinking; Calculations; and Orientation) are assessed. Participants are given a point for correctly completing a task or providing a correct response. Total scores vary from 0 to 30 with higher scores indicating greater cognitive function. An additional point is given if the participant’s level of education is 12 years or less.	- Stroke
Health and social service utilization	Health and Social Service Utilization Inventory23	15	Frequency of hospital admissions/visits over the last 6 months are collected as are other health and social services over the last 2 weeks (e.g., lab procedures, family doctor, therapist, homemaker), and prescription drugs over the last 4 days. Costs of each health and social service will be assigned based on the current BC Medical Service Plan price list.	n/a
Experience survey	Study specific exit survey	27	Staff communication, usefulness of the program, and program structure are assessed using a 0 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) response scale. Participants are also asked: 1) What aspects of the program did you like the most? 2) Which aspects of the program did you not like? and 3) What suggestions do you have for improving the program?	n/a

n/a = not applicable
