Study for Rural Innovations in the Delivery of Exercise (STRIDE)

May 5, 2021 updated by: Kushang Patel, University of Washington

Adapting an Evidence-Based Exercise Program for Remote Delivery to Rural Older Adults

: Falls are the primary cause of injury and a leading cause of disability and mortality among older adults. Risk factors for falling are common among older adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA) - a highly prevalent condition. Physical exercise is consistently the most efficacious intervention for preventing falls in older adults. However, access to these programs is severely limited in rural settings. Considering that rural communities have a higher disease burden and higher proportion of older adults than non-rural areas, there is a critical need to (1) adapt evidence-based exercise programs for remote delivery to increase access for rural older adults and (2) develop pathways to implement exercise programs in rural health care systems that consistently reach and engage patients with knee OA. Accordingly, the proposed project aims to refine a protocol for remote delivery of Enhance Fitness (EF). EF is an evidence-based, group exercise program involving strength, endurance, and balance training that is recommended for falls prevention and OA management

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

The investigators recognize that data sharing leads to the promotion of science. We intend to publish the results of the proposed study and will make data available to investigators upon request (following publication). The final dataset will include demographic, clinical, and behavioral data on 15 older adults followed over a 3-month period. Even though the final dataset will be stripped of identifiers prior to release for sharing, we believe that the possibility of deductive disclosure of subjects with unusual characteristics remains. For these reasons, we propose to make the data and associated documentation available to users under a data-sharing agreement that provides for: (1) a commitment to using the data only for research purposes and not to identify any individual participant; (2) a commitment to securing the data using appropriate computer technology; and (3) a commitment to destroying or returning the data after analyses are completed.
