Healthy Aging Intervention for Older Adults in Senior Centers
This study is testing an intervention called "aCT CHW intervention" to help older adults age healthily. Community Health Workers (CHWs) will deliver this intervention at three senior centers in southeastern Kentucky for 4 hours a week over 4 months. We want to see if this program can improve blood pressure and physical activity levels. You might be able to join if you are 60 years or older, registered for a meal program at a participating senior center, and speak English. The study aims to enroll 250 people, but its current status is unclear.
