WHISH EnCore Trial Summary
This trial aims to evaluate the effects of a technology-driven "citizen science" approach to environmental barriers identification and intervention called Our Voice, compared to a "light-touch" remote physical activity educational program alone, on physical and cognitive health for older women.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for older women who are not very active physically, enrolled in the WHISH trial, can use a smartphone, and willing to wear a pedometer. They should be able to walk moderately and stay in the area for a year. It's not for those living in nursing homes or with dementia or conditions preventing moderate physical activity.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding 'Our Voice', which uses technology to tackle barriers to being active outdoors, improves physical and cognitive health when combined with an existing remote education program on physical activity versus just the education program plus human/planetary health awareness.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational programs and increased physical activity rather than medication, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or fatigue but will vary based on individual health status.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: PA Education plus Our Voice citizen scienceExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive the remote "light touch" physical activity education program in combination with the remote Our Voice citizen science program aimed at identifying and addressing physical and social environmental barriers to and enablers of regular physical activity.
Group II: PA Education plus human and planetary health informationActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will continue to receive the remote "light touch" physical activity education program that they have been receiving for the past several years along with additional remote health education information to control for nonspecific factors (staff attention, participant time).
