The EMBOLDEN study, with the goal of improved physical and community mobility for older adults, has a new website.
Online visitors to this informative and easy to navigate site found at https://emboldenstudy.mcmaster.ca/wp/, can find information about the research team, partnerships and collaborations, ways to get involved, projects and results, and the latest news and events.
The study team, including researchers, community stakeholders and older-adult citizens, used experience-based co-design to develop a new program for older adults. Starting this spring they will implement and evaluate the community-based intervention with the aim to promote physical and community mobility of older adults who experience difficulties participating in community programs and live in communities of high health inequity.
