Summary

The objectives of this study are to 1) evaluate whether Choose to Move (CTM) improves health outcomes in older adults who participate and 2) assess whether CTM is delivered as planned and what factors support or inhibit delivery at scale. CTM is a 6 month, choice-based program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia, Canada. The goals of CTM are to enhance physical activity, mobility and social connectedness in older adults living in British Columbia, Canada.

Detailed description

CTM is a 6 month, choice-based program for low active older adults being scaled-up in phases across British Columbia, Canada. Within CTM (phase 3), trained activity coaches support older adults in three 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 a series of group meetings with small groups of participants. Finally, activity coaches regularly check in with participants to provide ongoing support. Activity coaches and recreation departments across BC are trained and provided with resources to deliver CTM. Objectives: 1. To assess the impact (effectiveness) of CTM (phase 3) delivered at scale on the physical activity, mobility and social connectedness of older adults (Part I - Impact Evaluation) 2. To assess whether the program was implemented as planned (fidelity) and investigate factors that support or inhibit implementation at scale (Part II - Implementation Evaluation). Study Design: We use a hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation (Curran et al 2012) pre-post study design to evaluate CTM. We use mixed-methods (quantitative and qualitative) and collect data at 0 (baseline), 3 (mid-intervention), 6 (post-intervention) and 18 (12-months post-intervention) months to assess effectiveness and implementation of CTM.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Choose to Move	CTM (phase 3) is a 6-month, flexible, evidence- and choice-based program for low active older adults. CTM includes * One-on-One Consultation Participants meet 1-on-1 with their activity coach at the start of the program to set goals and develop an action plan tailored to their abilities, interests and resources. Older adults can choose to participate in individual or group-based activities. * Group Meetings Over the first three months, participants will attend five, 1-hour group-based meetings (up to 12 participants total) led by their activity coach. Meetings cover a discussion topic and provide time and space for social connection between participants. * Check-ins Over the six month program, activity coaches will provide six brief telephone check-ins (approximately 15 minutes each and once/month) to discuss their Action Plan and ask questions.
