Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Usual careExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in the control group will receive usual services which might include primary care and prescription medications for chronic disease management.
Group II: IPROACTIFExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
10 weekly sessions. First two sessions focus on comprehensive assessment of physical and executive functioning, assessment of home safety and accessibility, assessment of ADL/IADL competence and performance in context; information in these areas is used by the interventionist to collaboratively identify three patient-centered goals. Goal planning is followed by 10 treatment sessions. Treatment sessions focus on chronic disease education, problem solving issues related to disease management by modifying daily routines, recommendations for embedding physical activity in everyday tasks, and environmental modifications or activity adaptations to increase ADL/IADL independence.
