"Worth the Walk:" A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Walking Intervention to Decrease Stroke Risk Among Minority Seniors (S51.002)

Conclusions:We successfully implemented a community-partnered, culturally-tailored, sustainable program to increase walking in minority seniors. Preliminary data analysis suggests improvement in non-sustained increases in steps/day. Next steps include more extensive data analyses, including stakeholder interviews, and examination of participant-level and organizational features associated with more successful study outcomes and program implementation.Study Supported by: - University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Charles Drew University (CDU), Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research Center for Health Improvement of Minority Elderly (RCMAR/CHIME) under NIH/NIA Grant # P30-AG021684- UCLA Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) under NIH/NCATS Grant # UL1TR000124- Los Angeles Stroke Prevention/Intervention Research Program in Health Disparities under NIH/NINDS Grant #U54NS081764.)- Midcareer Award in Patient-Oriented Community-Academic Partnered Aging Research (NIH/NIA Grant # 1K24AG047899)Disclosure: Dr. Song has nothing to disclose.
