Trial Outcomes & Findings for Citizen Science to Promote Sustained Physical Activity in Low-Income Communities (NCT NCT03041415)

NCT ID: NCT03041415

Last Updated: 2022-08-12

Results Overview

Self-report using the Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors (CHAMPS) Physical Activity Questionnaire. CHAMPS is a self-report physical activity questionnaire that assesses weekly frequency and duration of various activities typically undertaken by midlife and older adults over the prior 4-week period. Self-reported walking for errands is one physical activity item assessed. The measure has been shown to have good test-retest reliability (stability) and construct and concurrent validity, and has been shown to be sensitive to change in a variety of adult populations. It has seven frequency categories (from less than 1 hour a week to 9 or more hours per week). The minimum value is 0 and the maximal value is variable.

Measure
ALED Alone Physical Activity (PA) Program
* The Active Living Every Day (ALED) comprehensive 12-week PA training and support program is appropriate for delivery by trained instructors from diverse backgrounds. * Participants are taught self-regulatory skills aimed at increasing and sustaining regular physical activities such as walking. ALED Alone Physical Activity Program: • 12-week class focused on teaching self-regulatory skills to increase regular PA
ALED + Our Voice PA Program
* The ALED physical activity program is combined with the Our Voice citizen science engagement program, which teaches participants how to assess the barriers and enablers of neighborhood physical activity using a simple mobile app. * Residents then share their data and build consensus around major barriers and potential solutions, which they share with local decision makers. ALED + Our Voice PA Program: • 12-week class focused on teaching self-regulatory skills to increase regular PA • Neighborhood assessment, consensus-building, \& advocacy program in which participants are taught skills to promote neighborhood-level changes in support of regular Physical activity
