Summary

Physical mobility and social participation are needed to maintain independence and quality of life for adults over 55 years of age. Despite the known benefits of physical activity and dietary change programs for older adults, the best ways to deliver these interventions are not well understood. The goal of the EMBOLDEN study is to promote physical and community mobility in older adults who experience difficulties taking up community programs and reside in areas of high health inequity. Building on existing best practices, the investigators will implement and evaluate an innovative co-designed community-based program to promote physical activity, healthy eating, social participation, and system navigation. The potential for spreading this program throughout Hamilton and adapted to other Canadian communities will also be explored

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

3 month community-based mobility and health intervention

12 weekly GROUP (10-15 adults per cohort) sessions + 3 INDIVIDUAL tailored system navigation sessions at beginning, midpoint, and end of program. The 3-month GROUP program will include the following fixed components: i) weekly interactive group-based health education sessions focused on: * increasing knowledge, skills, and behaviours related to physical activity, healthy eating, and available community supports for older adults; * socialization to foster peer and community connections, co-learning, and decrease social isolation * skill-building to support independence and quality of life; and ii) INDIVIDUAL tailored system navigation support
