Brief Summary

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

The objectives of this study are to: 1) evaluate whether Choose to Move (CTM) Phase 4 improves health outcomes in older adults who participate and 2) assess whether CTM Phase 4 is delivered as planned and what factors support or inhibit its delivery at scale.

CTM Phase 4 is a 3-month, choice-based program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia (BC), Canada. The goals of CTM are to enhance physical activity, mobility and social connectedness in older adults living in BC, Canada.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Choose to Move (CTM) Phase 4 is a 3-month, choice-based program for low active older adults being scaled-up in phases across British Columbia (BC), Canada. Within CTM (Phase 4), trained activity coaches support older adults in two ways. First, in a one-on-one consultation, activity coaches help participants to set goals and create action plans for physical activity tailored to each person's interests and abilities. Older adults can choose to participate in individual or group-based activities. Second, activity coaches facilitate 8 group meetings with small groups of participants. Activity coaches and recreation departments across BC are trained and provided with resources to deliver CTM.

Objectives:

1. To assess the impact (effectiveness) of CTM (Phase 4) delivered at scale on the physical activity, mobility, and social connectedness of older adults (Part I - Impact Evaluation)
2. To assess whether CTM (Phase 4) was implemented as planned (fidelity) and investigate factors that support or inhibit its implementation at scale (Part II - Implementation Evaluation).

Study Design:

The investigators use a hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation (Curran et al 2012) pre-post study design to evaluate CTM. The investigators use multiple methods (quantitative and qualitative) and collect data at 0 (baseline), 3 (post-intervention), 6 (3 months post-intervention), 15 (12 months post-intervention) and 27 (24 months post-intervention) months to assess impact and implementation of CTM.

Study Groups

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

Choose to Move

CTM (Phase 4) is a 3-month, flexible, choice-based program for low active older adults that can be delivered in-person or online.

CTM includes

* One-on-One Consultation: Participants meet 1-on-1 with their activity coach at the start of the program to set goals and develop an action plan tailored to their abilities, interests and resources. Older adults can choose to participate in individual or group-based activities.
* Group Meetings: Over the 3-months, participants will attend eight, 1-hour group-based meetings (up to 12 participants total) led by their activity coach. Meetings cover a discussion topic (health-related) and provide time and space for social connection between participants. Group meetings are held in person or online as public health restrictions and community preference dictate.
