CTM-NS Trial Summary

This trial will help to determine if the health benefits of an existing program called Choose to Move can be maintained by providing ongoing support to participants, in the form of virtual group meetings either monthly or quarterly.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking older adults (≥60 years) in Canada who are not very active, doing less than 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week. They should be ready to start being more active and have either completed or are currently participating in the Choose to Move program. They must also be able to use Zoom or GoToMeeting for virtual group meetings.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The 'Choose to Move - Next Steps' program aims to see if booster sessions can help maintain health benefits from a previous activity program. Participants will receive these boosters either monthly (high dose) or quarterly (low dose), with their impact measured over two years.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is a non-medical intervention focusing on social support and physical activity, no traditional side effects like those seen with medications are expected. However, participants may experience fatigue or muscle soreness due to increased physical activity.

What is the ultimate aim of this experiment?

"This medical trial aims to observe fluctuations in self-perception of mobility, as well as changes in social isolation (assessed via a 4-item questionnaire derived from Vernoff et al., 1981), the size and composition of participants' social networks (Lubben Social Network Questionnaire, 2006) and their sense belongingness (My Health My Community survey, 2014). Data collection will occur over 0, 3, 12 and 24 months."
