Staying active while physical distancing - looking for partners

Posted Le 7 mai 2020

We are working on a research project that aims to help older people stay physically active while practicing physical distancing and self isolation. The focus is on physical activity and exercise in general, rather than falls specifically, though we will be measuring falls as an outcome. We are looking for partner organizations who work with older adults and would be interested in collaborating on this project. The partner organizations would provide input on the research questions and study design, and help to connect us with older adults who would benefit from a physical actiivty intervention. We are applying for funding with a tight deadline (Monday!) so I would appreciate hearing from any interested groups before then to discuss further. However, if you do not see this message before then I'd also be happy to discuss after the funding application is submitted.

If you're interested in discussng further, please connect with me at avril.mansfield@uhn.ca.

Thanks all, and stay safe!
