Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Choose to Move

CTM (phase 3) is a 6-month, flexible, evidence- and choice-based program for low active older adults. CTM includes * One-on-One Consultation Participants meet 1-on-1 with their activity coach at the start of the program to set goals and develop an action plan tailored to their abilities, interests and resources. Older adults can choose to participate in individual or group-based activities. * Group Meetings Over the first three months, participants will attend five, 1-hour group-based meetings (up to 12 participants total) led by their activity coach. Meetings cover a discussion topic and provide time and space for social connection between participants. * Check-ins Over the six month program, activity coaches will provide six brief telephone check-ins (approximately 15 minutes each and once/month) to discuss their Action Plan and ask questions.
