About

The purpose of this study is to test an osteoarthritis (OA) primary care Physical activity Care Pathway (OA-PCP), a scalable intervention that includes: 1) a practical process for physical inactivity screening in primary care, 2) a brief, tailored physical activity (PA) counseling intervention via telephone, 3) connection of patients with community programs and other resources to support PA, and 4) follow-up with patients to deliver additional appropriate counseling and referrals to PA resources. This program will be compared to another program that provides education on a variety of topics important to understanding osteoarthritis (OA) and its care.

Full description

This study will be a randomized pilot trial of the refined OA-PCP among n=240 patients age ≥65 with hip and/or knee OA recruited from primary care clinics. Participants will be assigned equally to either the OA-PCP or an attention control group. Participants will complete assessments at baseline, and 6-month and 12-month follow-up. Primary endpoint of the trial will be objectively assessed PA, measured via accelerometer and secondary endpoint will be self-reported pain and function.

240 participants in 2 patient groups, including a placebo group

OA-PCP
Experimental group
Description:
Participants assigned to the OA-PCP intervention will receive an initial physical activity (PA) coaching call then, 5 more calls over the course of 12 months. Participants, if they agree, will also receive monthly check-in emails between phone calls.
Treatment:
Behavioral: OA-PCP Intervention
Attention Control
Placebo Comparator group
Description:
Participants assigned to the Attention Control group will receive the same number of phone calls over the course of 12 months, focused on understanding osteoarthritis (OA) and current information on treatment options. Participants, if they agree, will also receive monthly check-in emails between phone calls.
Treatment:
Behavioral: Attention Control
