Participant recruitment
Eligible participants were recruited from one of the four regions participating in the CP@home program. Each region's paramedic services identified eligible participants from the previous month and the information was sent to the Community Paramedicine Research Team. Individuals in long term care facilities who were involved in a similar paramedic led intervention were excluded.High-frequency 9-1-1 callers meeting the study’s eligibility criteria were recruited into the community RCT and randomly assigned to an intervention group by the community paramedicine research team to receive scheduled health assessment visits from community paramedics or a control group who received usual care. The intervention group received the CP@home intervention and the control group received usual care. The CP@home intervention consists of a series of assessments to examine the participant’s overall health status, quality of life, and their social determinants of health. The program also connects participants with appropriate community resources. The aim of CP@home is to provide participants with resources, monitor their chronic conditions, and identify risk factors with the expectation that their health and quality of life will improve. CP@home includes many of the same aspects of CP@clinic [
