Brief Summary

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

Choose to Move (CTM) is a 3-month, choice-based health-promoting program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia (BC), Canada. In this project, the investigators will support community-based seniors' services (CBSS) organizations across BC through a readiness-building process so they can adapt CTM and deliver the program to more diverse groups of underserved older adults than have previously participated in CTM.

Detailed Description

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

Choose to Move (CTM) a 3-month, choice-based health-promoting program for low active older adults being scaled-up in phases across British Columbia (BC), Canada. To date (Phases 1-4), CTM participants have included mostly white older women living in large urban centres. In this project, the investigators aim to expand the reach of CTM to more diverse populations of underserved older adults across BC.

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.

In this study, the central support unit (CSU) will work with community-based seniors' services (CBSS) organizations across BC to adapt the CTM Phase 4 program to 'best fit' the population of underserved older adults they serve, and build capacity in these organizations to deliver CTM. The investigators will then evaluate the implementation of the adapted programs, and the impact of the adapted programs on older adults' physical and social health.

Objectives:

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

Study Design:

The investigators use a hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation (Curran et al. 2012) pre-post study design to evaluate the adapted CTM Phase 4 program. The investigators use mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) and collect data at 0 (baseline) and 3 (post-intervention) months to assess implementation and impact of CTM.

Study Groups

Choose to Move

CTM (adapted Phase 4) is a 3-month, flexible, choice-based health-promoting program for low active older adults. CTM includes:

1-on-1 Consultation: Participants meet 1-on-1 with their activity coach at the start of the program to set goals and develop a physical activity action plan tailored to their abilities, interests and resources. Older adults can choose to participate in individual or group-based activities.

Group Meetings: Participants will attend eight, 1-hour group-based meetings (max of 15 participants) led by an activity coach. Meetings cover a health-related discussion topic and provide time for social connection among participants. Meetings can be held online or in-person.

Community-based seniors' services organizations that deliver CTM may adapt the program (e.g., deliver in a different language, adapt for cultural or geographical factors) to fit the needs of the older adults they serve but the two components listed above will be retained.
