Official title
Choose to Move (CTM): Implementation and Impact Evaluation of an Adapted Health-Promoting Program for Equity-Deserving Older Adults
Overview
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 Phase 5, the goal of CTM is to enhance physical activity, mobility and social connectedness in three target populations: South Asian older adults, older men, and older adults living in Northern BC. To do so, the investigators will support community-based seniors' services (CBSS) organizations through a readiness-building process so they can adapt CTM and deliver the program to these populations. This study has two main research questions: 1. How are adapted CTM programs delivered ('implementation outcomes') and what factors influence delivery ('implementation determinants')? 2. What is the impact of the adapted CTM programs on health outcomes of older adults?
Detailed 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 Phase 5, the investigators aim to expand the reach of CTM to three target populations: South Asian older adults, older men, and older adults living in Northern BC.
Within CTM (Phase 5), 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 to adapt CTM to 'best fit' these target populations of older adults, 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 (Phase 5) was implemented as planned (fidelity) and investigate factors that support or inhibit its implementation at scale (Part I - Implementation Evaluation). 2. To assess the impact (effectiveness) of CTM (Phase 5) on the physical activity, mobility, and social connectedness of older adult participants (Part II - Impact Evaluation). 3. To assess whether participant-level benefits of CTM (Phase 5) are maintained 12 months after participants complete the CTM program.
Study Design:
The investigators use a hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation (Curran et al. 2012) pre-post study design to evaluate CTM Phase 5. The investigators use mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) and collect data at 0 (baseline), 3 (post-intervention) and 15 (12-months post intervention) months to assess implementation and impact of CTM.
