Testing Multi-Level Remote Physical Activity Interventions in a National Sample of Older Women: The WHISH EnCore Trial
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT05566873
Purpose
While older women are disproportionately affected by chronic diseases and conditions
associated with aging, including both physical and cognitive impairments, that can be
alleviated or delayed by regular physical activity, few physical activity programs have been
developed specifically with their needs in mind. This research aims to evaluate, in
insufficiently active older women from the national WHISH pragmatic trial, the effects of a
technology-driven "citizen science" approach to environmental physical activity barriers
called Our Voice plus the ongoing "light-touch" remote physical activity educational program,
compared to the "light-touch" remote physical activity educational program plus a control
educational intervention that creates awareness around human and planetary health. This study
will add important information on the benefits and trade-offs of combining these remotely
delivered and practical behavioral health approaches to promote physical and cognitive health
for the fast-expanding demographic group of U.S. older women.
