Evaluation of Have a Heart Paisley, Phase Two
Have a Heart Paisley (external link) (HaHP) is a Scottish Executive-funded national health demonstration project, hosted by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
Have a Heart Paisley was one of four projects outlined in the Government’s White paper ‘Towards a Healthier Scotland’. The initial project was established to reduce heart disease and promote healthier, longer lives for the people of Paisley.
Phase One of the project began in 2001 and continued until 2004.
The Executive Summary for Phase One of the Evaluation is available at the Scottish Government.(external link)
Phase Two
Phase Two of the project will run until 2008 and is delivering a more focussed programme of work. The project aims to demonstrate the degree to which preventative measures can improve heart health by tackling risk factors and unmet needs. There are three dimensions to the project:
Dimension A
Targets those aged 45-60 years old at risk of cardiovascular utilising ‘Health Coaching’ for one to one support and lifestyle change.
Dimension B
Targets individuals of any age with established CHD to enhance opportunities to improve access and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation
Dimension C
Supports the above work through enabling participation, building confidence and increasing skills through social marketing techniques

Phase Two Evaluation
Phase Two is being evaluated by the Research Unit in Health Behaviour and Change (RUHBC) at the University of Edinburgh (external link). The evaluation plan was developed as a result of intensive collaboration between HaHP programme staff, NHS HS Heart Health Learning Network, and the RUHBC evaluation team.
