Community-based Intervention Effects on Older Adults' Physical Activity
NCT03326141 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The research team will conduct a 2 x 2 factorial experiment testing the individual and combined effects of two empirically and theoretically relevant sets of behavior change strategies on community-dwelling older adults' physical activity. To do this the investigators will randomize participants \>= 70 years old (n = 308) to 1 of 4 experimental conditions. All conditions include an evidence-based physical activity protocol endorsed by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for use by all older adults, including those with frailty and multiple co-morbidities and the commercially available physical activity monitor (e.g., Fitbit) to augment intervention delivery. Intervention components that are experimental and vary by condition are the sets of behavior change strategies which will be combined with the physical activity protocol and the physical activity monitor. Condition 1 has no specific behavior change strategies; Condition 2 includes an intervention component comprised of 5 interpersonal behavior change strategies, such as facilitating social support and social comparison; Condition 3 includes an intervention component comprised of 5 intrapersonal behavior change strategies, such as setting personally meaningful goals; and Condition 4 includes both sets of behavior change strategies -- 5 interpersonal strategies combined with 5 intrapersonal behavior change strategies.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03326141
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03326141 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 309 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Minnesota, which has 919 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 5 conditions, with Physical Activity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 5 interventions — of which Otago Exercise Program is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03326141 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Minnesota. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
