Summary

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.

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.
