Does optimizing Choose to Move - a health-promoting program for older adults - enhance scalability, program implementation and effectiveness?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Investment in scale-up and sustainment of effective health-promoting programs is often hampered by competing demands on scarce health dollars. Thus, optimizing programs to reduce resource use (e.g., delivery costs) while maintaining effectiveness is necessary to promote health at scale. Using a phased approach (2015-2024), we adapted and scaled-up an evidence-based, health-promoting program for older adults (Choose to Move; CTM). For CTM Phase 4 we undertook a systematic, data-driven adaptation process to reduce resource use. In this paper we: 1) describe the CTM Phase 4 program ('CTM Phase 4') and assess its 2) implementation and 3) effectiveness.

Methods

For CTM Phase 4 (30-min one-on-one consultation and 8, 60-min group meetings with an activity coach), we redu
