Evaluating Implementation and Impact of the Adapted Choose to Move (CTM) Program
Canada336 participantsStarted 2024-08-06
Plain-language summary
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 Phase 5, the goal of CTM is to enhance physical activity, mobility and social connectedness in three target populations: South Asian older adults, older men, and older adults living in Northern BC. To do so, the investigators will support community-based seniors' services (CBSS) organizations through a readiness-building process so they can adapt CTM and deliver the program to these populations.
This study has two main research questions:
1. How are adapted CTM programs delivered ('implementation outcomes') and what factors influence delivery ('implementation determinants')?
2. What is the impact of the adapted CTM programs on health outcomes of older adults?

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This program is focused on physical activity, mobility, and loneliness in older adults — given my current health and mobility level, is my body in a condition where increasing physical activity through a structured program like this would be safe for me right now?
2The trial is listed as 'enrolling by invitation' — can you find out whether I or someone you work with has connections to this program, and whether there's any way to explore whether I might be considered for an invitation?
3Since this is a Phase NA study focused on how well a community program is implemented rather than testing a new drug or medical procedure, what are the main risks I should still be aware of, especially if I have existing joint, heart, or balance issues?
4The program targets sedentary behavior and social isolation together — do you think addressing both of those at the same time through a group-based activity program makes sense for my situation, or would a more individualized approach be a better starting point for me?
5If I'm not able to access this particular program, are there similar evidence-based physical activity or social engagement programs in our area that you'd recommend I look into as an alternative?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
