Supporting Habit Formation to Attenuate Prefrailty in Elders: a Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Habit Formation and Education for Frailty. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Supporting Habit Formation to Attenuate Prefrailty in Elders (SHAPE) Pilot Study is a randomized control study. The main objective of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of using Habit Formation (HF) treatment to increase Physical Activity (PA) (reduction in daily in hours of sedentary time), and dietary among prefrail African Americans. We hypothesize: (1)The SHAPE study will demonstrate good feasibility with a high recruitment rate and successful administration all of the measures among the target population; (2) Treatment group participants will demonstrate greater increases in primary outcomes (physical activity level and dietary quality) and secondary outcomes (quality of life, depressive symptoms, prefrailty reduction, lower extremity strength and balance, physical activity level, waist circumference, and weight at intervention completion.

Timeline
Interventions
Treatment sessions consist of 12 weekly health coaching sessions at participants' home. During the intervention period, an occupational therapist will help the participant to commit to developing new simple habits (dietary habits or physical activity habits) in each 60-minute session.
In the education group, participants will receive newsletters containing general healthy aging materials over 12 weeks. A trained research assistant will call participants to verify receipt of the newsletter, and answer their questions about the materials. Each phone call will last \~15 minutes.
