Continued Evaluation of Provincial Scale-up of Choose to Move (CTM) Phase 4

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 this project, the investigators will expand delivery of the optimized Phase 4 program with large and small partner organizations and will describe and assess scale-up, implementation, and impact of CTM Phase 4.

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 this project, the investigators aim to expand the reach of CTM to include even more older adults living in communities 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 either in person or online.

In this study, the central support unit (CSU) will work with community-based seniors' services (CBSS) organizations in large and small communities across BC to deliver CTM to more older adults. The investigators will then evaluate implementation of CTM programs, and the impact of the CTM program on older adults' physical and social health.

Objectives:

To assess whether CTM (Phase 4) was implemented as planned (fidelity) and investigate factors that support or inhibit its implementation at scale across BC (Part I - Implementation Evaluation).

To assess the impact (effectiveness) of CTM (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 scale-up of CTM Phase 4. 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.
