In recent years, museums have participated in the patient care journey by using art to enhance their quality of life and well-being. Since 2015, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) and Dr. Beauchet have developed an Action-Research program exploring the effects of participatory art activities for community elders conducted at the MMFA, known as the Arts & Longevity Lab (ALL). The mandate of ALL is to improve the well-being, quality of life and health (i.e. mental and physical state) of individuals and patients through the practice of visual arts activities (i.e. arts that produce objects perceived by the eyes).
Since 2019, the MMFA has developed in collaboration with Médecins Francophones du Canada museum visits prescribed by a primary care physician as a new intervention. Today, it is necessary to improve the knowledge on the effects of this museum visit prescription
The overall objective of this study is to examine the effects of a visit to the MMFA prescribed by a primary care physician on the mental health (well-being and quality of life) of patients living in Montreal.

This questionnaire will be completed online on the CRIUGM web platform using an electronic device.
Time frame: 3 months
Well-being will be assessed using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS).
The WEMWBS is a validated questionnaire composed by a 14-item positively worded scale and five response categories. It covers most aspects of positive mental health (positive thoughts and feelings).
This questionnaire will be completed online on the CRIUGM web platform using an electronic device.
Time frame: 3 months

This questionnaire will be completed online on the CRIUGM web platform using an electronic device.
Time frame: 3 months
Social isolation will be assessed using the 11-item Duke Social Support Index (DSSI).
This index includes two subscales:
The DSSI score ranges from 11 to 33, with higher scores indicating higher levels of social inclusion. Scores for the 11 items are combined and categorized as low (score ≤26), high (score 27-29), and very high (score 30-33). We will use the mean score of the 11-item DSSI and its breakdown into three categories as the primary outcome.
This questionnaire will be completed online on the CRIUGM web platform using an electronic device.
Time frame: 3 months
Researchers will also study the prescribing context. A document will be filled by primary care physicians to give additional informations on the prescribing context such as the date of the prescription and the reason of the prescription.
Time frame: 3 months
A short questionnaire will be given to participants to the intervention at the end of the visit to the museum. This questionnaire will give additionnal information on the satisfaction from the visit and whether the visit was made alone or accompanied.
