[Evaluative research on the distribution of health videocassettes destined for a disadvantaged Montreal population].
The present article describes the implementation and the evaluation of an intervention done in the context of a heart health community and multifactorial program. The intervention aimed to offer six videocassettes on cardiovascular health to a low-income and low-educated clientele through five video-clubs. All videoclubs (n = 5) from St. Henri/Petite Bourgogne agreed to distribute the videocassettes free of charge. Two components were examined: admissibility by videoclubs' owner and clientele's receptivity towards the intervention. Results showed that all videoclubs offered free display and service for the videocassettes. The article also presents a discussion of the feasibility and the possibilities to broaden this type of action.
