Physical Activity Pathway for Patients With Osteoarthritis in Primary Care (OA-PCP) (R33)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Osteoarthritis

In brief

The purpose of this study is to test an osteoarthritis (OA) primary care Physical activity Care Pathway (OA-PCP), a scalable intervention that includes: 1) a practical process for physical inactivity screening in primary care, 2) a brief, tailored physical activity (PA) counseling intervention via telephone, 3) connection of patients with community programs and other resources to support PA, and 4) follow-up with patients to deliver additional appropriate counseling and referrals to PA resources. This program will be compared to another program that provides education on a variety of topics important to understanding osteoarthritis (OA) and its care.
