Official title
Effectiveness of an Automated Walking Program Targeting Veterans With COPD
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of an internet-mediated pedometer based intervention that is designed to increase walking and improve function among veterans with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The Specific Aims are: 1) to test the effectiveness of an automated internet-mediated walking program for veterans with COPD with a primary outcome of improvement in health-related quality of life at four-months and at one year in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a wait list control. 2) to estimate the effect of internet-mediated walking program for veterans with COPD on all cause days of hospitalization over one year following randomization. 3) to compare intervention reach, participation and satisfaction outcomes between rural and urban veterans among those randomized to the intervention arm. The long-term objective of this research is to develop, evaluate and disseminate effective, low-cost interventions that improve quality of life for veterans, particularly rural veterans, managing complex chronic conditions.
