Senior Change Makers Study: Improving Physical Activity Environments
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Sedentary Lifestyle
In brief
Senior Change Makers is an intergenerational intervention that compares two, 8-week programs: (1) an advocacy program wherein senior participants perform audits of their physical activity environments, identify an advocacy project, and advocate for improvements; and (2) a walking program designed to increase participant physical activity through education and guided walks. The investigators expect that the advocacy program will produce greater improvements in seniors' advocacy skills, confidence, and attitudes at 8 weeks.
