Mobility Limitation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluating the Impact of the McMaster Optimal Aging Portal on Knowledge, Behavioural Intentions and Health Behaviours Related to Physical Mobility
The McMaster Optimal Aging Portal (the Portal) was launched in 2014 to increase public access
to trustworthy health information. The Portal helps readers to access evidence-based
resources; identify trustworthy messages; and understand scientific findings. Now the
investigators want to know whether using the Portal changes what people know and do to stay
healthy and mobile.
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.
Physically active lifestyles are important for health aging, but most Canadians do not meet
published physical activity guidelines. This may be in part due to lack of access to
evidence-based information on mobility and aging, and knowledge of strategies to maintain or
improve mobility with age. The McMaster Optimal Aging Portal (the Portal) was launched in
2014 to increase public access to trustworthy health information. Now the investigators want
to know if easy-to-understand evidence-based messages change what people know and do to stay
healthy and mobile.
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.
