In this Phase 1 pilot study, the investigators will test the feasibility of pairing a social network-based approach with a 6-week Occupational Therapist (OT)-led intervention administered remotely to increase physical function and activity among residents of a HUD subsidized independent-living senior housing community. The social network-based approach will involve systematic identification and involvement of influential human agents of change in the community (i.e., the most respected resident and resident with whom others have the most contact) to help recruit and sustain others' participation in the OT intervention. The OT intervention will be comprised of a combination of adapted components from multiple evidence-based interventions including individual meetings with an OT and OT-led group sessions. The goal of the intervention is to increase physical function and activity among older adults through development of habits and skills that address barriers such as pain.

| Process Outcome - Group Activity Participation | Number of group intervention activities attended by participants. Possible scores range from 0 to 4. | Immediately after the intervention, 6 weeks after the intervention started |
| Process Outcome - Total Activity Participation | Total number of intervention activities attended by participants (individual and group). Possible scores range from 0 to 10. | Immediately after the intervention, 6 weeks after the intervention started |
| Process Outcome - Number Activities Via Zoom | Number of activities attended via zoom as opposed to calling in by telephone. Possible scores range from 0 to 10. | Immediately after the intervention, 6 weeks after the intervention started |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Self-reported Physical Activity | Modified Community Health Activities Model Program questionnaire. This includes 16 questions/items that measure the number of times and the frequency of each activity engaged in during a typical week in the past month. The response scale for each of the 16 items ranges from 1=less than 1 hour to 6=9 or more hours. On this scale, higher values represent a better outcome. A total self-reported physical activity score is calculated by averaging the score of all 16 items. The range for the total score also ranges from 1 to 6. Change will be measured by creating a difference score between the pre and post intervention total scores. Positive change scores represent a better outcome, i.e., an increase in self-reported physical activity. |

| Change in Perceived Barriers to Physical Activity | This includes 17 questions/items that measure the degree to which specific things make it more difficult for participants to engage in 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on 5 or more days a week. The response scale for each of the 17 items ranges from 1=not at all more difficult to 4=much more difficult. On this scale, lower values represent a better outcome. A total perceived barriers to physical activity score is calculated by averaging the score of all 17 items. The range for the total score also ranges from 1 to 4. Change will be measured by creating a difference score between the pre and post intervention total scores. Negative change scores represent a better outcome, i.e., a decrease in perceived barriers to physical activity. | 1 week pre and 1 week post the 6-week intervention |
| Change in Pain Interference | This includes 8 questions/items that measure how much pain interferes with daily activities. The response scale for each the 8 items ranges from 1=not at all to 5=very much. On this scale, lower values represent a better outcome. A total pain interference score is calculated by averaging the score of all 8 items. The range for the total score also ranges from 1 to 5. Change will be measured by creating a difference score between the pre and post intervention total scores. Negative change scores represent a better outcome, i.e., a decrease in pain interference. | 1 week pre and 1 week post the 6-week intervention |
| Change in Pain Intensity | This includes one question about how participants rate their pain on average using a scale ranging from 0=no pain to 10=the worst imaginable pain. Change will be measured by creating a difference score between the pre and post intervention scores. | 1 week pre and 1 week post the 6-week intervention |
| Change in Physical Function Difficulty | This includes a modified version of the National Health and Aging Trends Study disability and functioning measure. The measure includes 11 questions/items assessing difficulty performing self-care, mobility, and household activities. The response scale for each of the 11 items asking about difficulty doing these activities ranges from 1=none to 4=a lot. On this scale, lower values represent a better outcome. A total physical function difficulty score is calculated by averaging the score of all 11 items. The range for the total score also ranges from 1 to 4. Change will be measured by creating a difference score between the pre and post intervention total scores. Negative change scores represent a better outcome, i.e., a decrease in physical function difficulty. | 1 week pre and 1 week post the 6-week intervention |
| Change in Self-efficacy in Activity | This includes 10 questions/items that measure participants' confidence in doing a number of activities that will be discussed during the intervention. The response scale for each of the 10 items ranges from 1=not confident at all to 5=completely confident. On this scale, higher values represent a better outcome. A total self-efficacy in activity score is calculated by averaging the score of all 10 items. The range for the total score also ranges from 1 to 5. Change will be measured by creating a difference score between the pre and post intervention total scores. Positive change scores represent a better outcome, i.e., an increase in self-efficacy in activity. | 1 week pre and 1 week post the 6-week intervention |
| Change in Percentage of Other Participants Known | This will include a measure of the percentage of other participants each participant reports knowing. Possible scores range from 0 to 100. Change will be measured by creating a difference score between the pre and post intervention scores. | 1 week pre and 1 week post the 6-week intervention |
| Change in Respect Level of Other Participants | This will include a measure of how much respect on average participants have for the other participants that they report knowing. This question will be asked on a scale ranging from 1=respect them very much to 5=don't respect them at all. Change will be measured by creating a difference score between the pre and post intervention scores. | 1 week pre and 1 week post the 6-week intervention |
| Change in Sedentary Behavior | Participants will be asked to wear an accelerometer for 7 days following participation in pre- and post intervention interviews. Data from the accelerometers will be used to quantify the average amount of time that participants were sedentary per day over the 7 days. Change will be measured by creating a difference score between the pre and post intervention scores. | 1 week pre and 1 week post the 6-week intervention |
| Change in Number of Steps | Participants will be asked to wear an accelerometer for 7 days following participation in pre- and post intervention interviews. Data from the accelerometers will be used to quantify the average number of steps taken per day over the 7 days. Change will be measured by creating a difference score between the pre and post intervention scores. | 1 week pre and 1 week post the 6-week intervention |
