Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Description:

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.

Other	Participant Responsiveness - CTM program (survey)	Program satisfaction will be assessed via participant (older adults) survey (designed in house). Higher scores (1-5 Likert scale) indicate higher participant satisfaction with the intervention.	3 months
Other	Participant Responsiveness - CTM program (interview)	Program satisfaction will be assessed via interview with older adult CTM participants.	3 months
Other	Cost	Program delivery costs will be recorded using a cost capture template developed in house.	0, 3 months
Other	Adaptation - CTM program (survey)	Extent to which the adapted CTM program can be adapted, tailored, refined, or reinvented to meet local needs will be assessed by survey (4 items each on a 1-5 Likert scale with 1 being completely disagree and 5 being completely agree; developed in house).	3 months
Primary	Change in physical activity	The single item physical activity questionnaire will be used to measure physical activity. Output variable is self-reported number of days/week =30 min physical activity in the past week (range 0-7).	0, 3 months
Secondary	Change in capacity for mobility	Two items will assess participants' ability to walk a quarter of a mile and up 10 steps. The output variable is self- reported presence of mobility-disability (no/any difficulty walking 400m or climbing one flight of stairs).	0, 3 months
Secondary	Change in physical functioning	The Physical Functioning Subscale of the SF-36 will be used to assess the physical function aspect of mobility. The measure asks participants to rate if their health limits them in performing 10 different activities. The output variable is an average score (range 0-100) of physical functioning, where a higher score indicates a more favourable health state.	0, 3 months
