Plain-language summary
This is a multi-site, one-arm type-2 hybrid-effectiveness implementation trial. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Walk On! program helps prevent falls in older adults who have trouble moving around or feel socially isolated. Researchers want to know:
1. What are the best ways for organizations to offer the Walk On! program and keep it running for older adults in their community?
2. Does Walk On! help prevent falls in older adults?
Older Adult Participants will:
1. Join group walking sessions led by a trained facilitator
2. Meet twice a week for 12 weeks (24 sessions)
3. Take part in simple tests before and after the program to see if there are any changes in older adults' function, confidence in not falling, or loneliness.

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.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

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?
