Optimizing Physical Activity for Older Adults with HIV
This study is looking for older adults (age 50 and above) living with HIV who are not very physically active. The goal is to find the best ways to help you increase your physical activity, like walking more steps each day. Researchers are testing three different approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Physical Activity (which helps with motivation and pain), Social Support for Physical Activity (using a Fitbit app and Facebook group), and Physical Activity Coaching (to set goals and track progress). You must be HIV positive, on continuous antiretroviral therapy (ART) for over 3 months, and report less than 90 minutes of moderate-vigorous physical activity per week. The study will measure your steps per day after 4 months to see which approaches work best. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 196 participants to examine three different behavioral interventions.
- What's involved
- You would participate in meetings every other week for 4 months for the Cognitive Behavioral Intervention or Physical Activity Coaching. You would also receive a single session of brief advice and instructions for using a study-provided Fitbit.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your steps per day will be measured at Month 4, which is the primary endpoint for the study.
