Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

PREFER II aims at developing psychological targeted theory- and evidence-based intervention components, which support older people with multiple illnesses in performing more physical activity. Many studies provide evidence for the importance of physical activity as a central mediator of health. This means that determinants of physical activity such as personal resources constitute an ideal target for interventions.

Within PREFER II, particularly positive views on ageing, attitudes, self-efficacy, planning and self-monitoring will be targeted in the interventions. These factors are important both for motivating older people with multiple illnesses to change their health behaviors and to translate such motivation into behavior.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention to enhance physical activity

Participants in this arm have high motivation to be regularly physically active. Face-to-face group intervention includes behavior change techniques to enhance physical activity.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Social-cognitive resource intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Intervention group that receives a behavior change technique intervention to increase volitional strategies and physical activity.

Active control intervention

Face-to-face group intervention includes behavior change techniques to enhance volunteering and improve attitudes towards volunteering.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Social-cognitive resource intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Active control group that receives a behavior change technique intervention to increase volitional strategies and volunteering.

Passive control intervention

Waiting-list control group, who receives all information (that the active groups got) via mail after completion of 8.5 months follow-up.

Group Type OTHER

no intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Passive control group that receives no intervention until the 8.5 months follow-up. Subsequently, they receive the information by mail the active groups received within the intervention.
