Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This project will help us to:
1. Understand how middle aged and older adults (age 40+) use the Portal to obtain information about maintaining and improving mobility
2. Evaluate whether use of the Portal results in a change in knowledge about maintaining and improving mobility, or change in lifestyle behaviours that may help maintain or improve mobility with age.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Sequential, explanatory mixed-methods design consisting of a two-armed randomized controlled trial and a qualitative process study to explore quantitative findings in depth.
Consent forms and a baseline survey will be sent to all interested participants. Following baseline data collection, participants will be stratified by previous Portal use, and randomized to the Knowledge Translation (KT) intervention or control group. During the 12-week KT intervention, intervention group participants will have access to the Portal and will receive mobility- focused weekly email alerts including blog posts and evidence summaries relevant to mobility and be invited to follow a Twitter and Facebook feed; a unique hashtag will be created to identify and collate relevant mobility information. Control group participants will be able to access the Portal in a 'self-serve' fashion, but will not receive targeted KT strategies.

Tailored Knowledge Translation
During the 12-week KT intervention, intervention group participants will have access to the Portal and will receive mobility-focused weekly email alerts including blog posts and evidence summaries relevant to mobility and be invited to follow a Twitter and Facebook feed; a unique hashtag will be created to identify and collate relevant mobility information.
Tailored Knowledge Translation
Tailored knowledge translation strategies specific to maintaining and increasing physical mobility with age.
Control group
Participants in the control group will have access to the Portal in a 'self-serve' fashion. These participants will be able to browse the Portal, subscribe to email alerts, follow social media, etc. but will not receive the tailored mobility intervention.
