This trial aims to evaluate the ADAPT Program in terms of efficacy, process and cost-efficacy compared to usual occupational therapy (UOT) in people with decreased ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) following chronic conditions. As both the ADAPT Program and UOT are targeted improvements in ADL ability, the primary objective of this trial is to assess equivalence between the ADAPT Program and UOT on changes in ADL ability as measured with the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS).
Background: The number of people living with chronic conditions limiting the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) tasks is increasing. Occupational therapists are trained to deliver interventions to improve ADL ability, e.g. by adapting and adjusting daily routines and physical environments. Municipality occupational therapy (OT) interventions are usually delivered as one-to-one sessions in the client´s home. While this intervention format might be effective in improving ADL ability, a group-based intervention format might be as effective but more cost-effective and hold other secondary gains. Guided by the British Medical Research Council's guidance (MRC) on how to develop and evaluate complex interventions, the ADAPT Program, a peer-exchange group-based program, was developed, piloted, and evaluated for its functioning and feasibility in municipality settings. These studies provided initial evidence for the ADAPT Programs effectiveness in improving ADL ability and suggests gains as improved well-being. Hence, the current phase concerns a full-scale evaluation of the ADAPT Program including evaluation of effectiveness, processes and cost-effectiveness.
Material and Methods: The randomized controlled trial (RCT), initiated with an external pilot (n=12), will include 130 home dwelling persons with decreased ADL ability following chronic conditions. Participants are randomized to either ADAPT Program (experimental) or usual OT (control).
Primary outcome: Observed ADL motor ability measured with the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS).
Secondary outcomes: Observed ADL process ability measured with the AMPS; patient reported ADL task Performance and Satisfaction measured with the ADL-Interview (ADL-I, Performance and Satisfaction scores); Well-being assessed with the World Health Organisation-Five Well Being Index (WHO-5); Health-related Quality of Life assessed with the European Quality of Life - 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D).
Exploratory outcomes include patient reported changes, using transition scales to evaluate participants´ experience of a) changed ADL task performance and satisfaction, b) changed problem-solving skills, c) changed quality of life, d) changed global health, e) changed needs for assistance. Finally, participants are to rate their overall experience of the allocated occupational therapy intervention.
Data collection: Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness data are collected at baseline and post intervention i.e., 3-months (week 12) and 6-months (week 26) from baseline. Costs will be estimated based on micro costing and national registries. Effects will be Quality Adjusted Life Years and changes in AMPS ADL motor ability. Process evaluation data will be collected using registration forms and semi-structured qualitative interviews.

| The ADAPT Program | Behavioral | The ADAPT Program is a structured and individualized 10-week group-based program, in which two occupational therapists teach groups of people, the skills of problem-solving more efficiently as means to overcome ADL task performance problems. The ADAPT Program 3.0 includes 2 individual two-hour sessions (sessions 1 and 10) conducted in the clients homes and eight two-hour group-based sessions (sessions 2-9). Moreover, two booster sessions (sessions 11 and 12) are delivered to support sustainable gains after termination of the 10-week ADAPT Program 3.0 |

Participants are informed that they will be allocated to one of two occupational therapy intervention programs that both aims to improve ADL ability, but overall primarily differ in terms of their format i.e. a group-based versus a one-to-one intervention program format. Participants are not informed, which of the two types of formats that are the new experimental intervention format (ADAPT) nor control (UOT). Baseline assessments are conducted prior to randomization by a local employed occupational therapists, who is instructed not to reveal which intervention that is the new experimental intervention. The post and follow-up assessors, a research occupational therapy assistant employed at the Parker Institute, is also instructed not to disclose which intervention that is the new experimental one. Finally, all participants are reminded not to disclose any details, that may provide the outcome assessors with insights regarding their allocated study arm.

|
| UOT | Behavioral | UOT is delivered by one occupational therapist. Sessions are individualised and focused on improving ADL ability e.g. by practicing the performance of ADL task or adjusting home environments. UOT typically includes 7 one-to-one sessions of 60 minutes, delivered over a 10-week period in the clients´ homes. The dose is however not fixed but based on the occupational therapists´ clinical judgement in collaboration with the individual client |
