STRIDE Trial Summary
This trial will compare different strategies for implementing a walking program for older hospitalized Veterans in 32 VA medical centers.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for hospitals that want to implement a walking program called STRIDE for older Veterans. Hospitals must sign an agreement to participate and have not been part of the previous Function QUERI study. The clinical outcomes will focus on patients aged 60 or above admitted to medicine wards offering the STRIDE program.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to compare different strategies for implementing the STRIDE walking program in VA hospitals. It uses a type III hybrid design framework, assessing how well each strategy works in getting hospitals to adopt and sustain the walking program.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on implementation strategies rather than medical treatments, it does not involve typical medication side effects. However, participants in the walking program may experience physical strain or injury related to increased activity.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Enhanced SupportExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Enhanced Support begins with the same activities as Foundational Support. Hospitals that are randomized to Enhanced Support and do not meet STRIDE initial program benchmarks within 6 months will continue with Foundational support and also receive higher intensity support for a period of 4-6 months. Hospitals that have sustained their implementation will continue low-touch activities while those that have been randomized to the enhanced support arm and met the initial program benchmark at 6-months but have not sustained (did not meet the sustainment benchmark), will begin engaging in high-touch activities. The higher intensity support will consist of facilitation, a process of interactive problem solving and support that occurs in a context of a supportive interpersonal relationship. Facilitation will be provided by Function QUERI team members.
Group II: Foundational SupportActive Control1 Intervention
Foundational Support uses the Replicating Effective Program (REP) implementation strategy and includes 5 elements that were developed and tested in our prior Function QUERI work: STRIDE Toolkit; Online shared resources (SharePoint) access for clinical program training materials; Data dashboard to assist hospitals with tracking their own data; Diffusion Networks to promote peer-to-peer sharing and implementation support; and Microsoft TEAMS Channels.
