Citizen Science to Promote Sustained Physical Activity in Low-Income Communities
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ALED Alone Physical Activity Program and ALED + Our Voice PA Program for Physical Activity. Completed, enrolled 300 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
While low-income midlife and older adults are disproportionately affected by chronic diseases that can be alleviated by regular physical activity, few physical activity programs have been developed specifically with their needs in mind. Those programs that are available typically do not address the recognized local environmental factors that can impact physical activity. This research aims to evaluate the added effects on two-year physical activity levels of a novel citizen science neighborhood engagement program (called Our Voice) when combined with an evidence-based, individually-focused physical activity program (Active Living Every Day), relative to the individually-focused program alone. The programs will be delivered in affordable housing settings, and represent a potentially scalable means for promoting physical activity across broader income groups in the US.
