People's beliefs about health and making lifestyle changes associated with risk reduction and disease prevention can vary based in their gender and ethnocultural affiliation. our objective was to describe and explain how gender and ethnocultural affiliation influence the process that people undergo when faced with making lifestyle changes related to their coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. A series of grounded theory studies were undertaken in alberta, canada with men and women from five ethnocultural groups diagnosed with CAD. Here we describe the cultural aspects associated with urban and rural living in 42 euro celtic men and women. Data were collectred through semi structured, audio recorded interviews and analysed using constant comparative methods. The core variable that emerged through the process was meeting the challenge. There were three phases to the process of managing CAD risk. The influence of these factors was either direct or indirect thourgh the intertwined elements of the participants' knowledge about CAD and perceived extent of necessary change Each element of this process was influenced by the participants' gender and culture (urban versus rural living). When health care providers understand and work with the gender and ethnoculturally based components that influence people's appraisal of their cardiac health and their decision making, appropriate secondary prevention interventions and positive health outcomes are more likely to follow.
