A-Health RCT: Effects of Participatory Art-based Activity on Health of Older Community Dwellers (A-Health-RCT)
Effects of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Participatory Art-based Activity on Health of Older Community Dwellers: THE A-HEALTH RCT STUDY
The overall objective of the study is to examine the effects of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) participatory art-based activity on wellbeing, quality of life and health condition in older community dwellers.
Aging is often associated with worsening health and withdrawal from social activities, both increasing the risk of a poor quality of life. It has been reported that the practice of art, especially participatory art-based activity enhances wellbeing, quality of life and health condition of patients and older adults. Since October 2015, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA; Quebec, Canada) has successfully initiated a participatory art-based activity known as "Les Beaux-Jeudis" for older community dwellers living in Montreal. Recently, the investigator demonstrated that the MMFA participatory art-based activity improved wellbeing, quality of life and health condition of Montreal older community dwellers using a pre-post single arm, prospective and longitudinal design: it was not a randomized controlled trial (RCT) which is the gold standard to examine the effects of an intervention.

Background. Recently, the investigator demonstrated that the Montreal Museum of Fine-Arts (MMFA) participatory art-based activity improved wellbeing, quality of life and health condition of Montreal older community dwellers using a pre-post single arm, prospective and longitudinal design. The main limitation of this pilot study was its design: it was not a randomized controlled trial (RCT) which is the gold standard to examine the effects of an intervention.
Objectives. The overall objective is to examine the effect of the MMFA participatory art-based activity on wellbeing, quality of life and health condition in older community dwellers.
The specific objectives are to compare the changes in 1) wellbeing, 2) quality of life and 3) health condition in older community dwellers participating in the museum participatory art-based activity (Intervention group) and in age and sex-matched older community dwellers who are not participants in the museum participatory art-based activity (Control group) during the same period of time. In addition, the compliance to museum participatory art-based activity in intervention will be examined. A second study, based on the same process, has been proceeded in Japan (Tokyo). With merging the 2 databases, we will study the impact of cultural specificities, comparing data collected in Montreal and data collected in Tokyo.
Methods. The design is a unicentre (Jewish General Hospital; Montreal, Quebec, Canada), clinical, randomized, controlled, single blinded (i.e.; investigators), superiority trial, with two parallel arms (Intervention and Control groups), comparative (comparison of Intervention and Control groups) and analyzed with the intention-to-treat.
The participants in the Intervention group will be participants of the museum participatory art-based activity. The Control group will be composed of older community dwellers matched on age and sex compared to the Intervention group but who will not be participate to the museum participatory art-based activity.
The follow-up period will be 3 months, which is the duration of a session of the museum participatory art-based activity. Assessment of wellbeing, quality of life and health condition will be performed at baseline, at the beginning of second and third months, and at the end of third month.
The same study has been developed and realized in Japan. Data collected in Canada will be merged with data collected in Japan and the analysis will be repeated for this international database.

Experimenteel: Intervention group
The participants in the Intervention group will be participants of the museum participatory art-based activity.
|
The intervention is a participatory art-based activity which consists in making art in group, involving the participants directly in the creative process, allowing them to become co-authors of the work. In Montreal, Canada, participants will meet once per week for a 2h workshop from 2.00 PM to 4.00 PM at the MMFA in a dedicated room during a three month-period defining "a session". Two successive sessions will be setup; a winter and a spring sessions. Each session will be composed of 12 consecutive workshops. In Tokyo, Japan, participants will meet once per week for a 2h workshop at the Tokyo Fuji Museum in a dedicated room during a three month-period defining "a session". The session will be composed of 12 consecutive workshops. |

Geen tussenkomst: Control Group
The Control arm will be composed of older community dwellers matched on age and sex compared to the Intervention group but who will not be participants at the museum participatory art-based activity.
