Title: MIPARC - Multilevel Intervention for Physical Activity in Retirement Communities
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess whether a 6-month multilevel physical activity intervention can significantly increase physical activity levels in sedentary adults, 65 and older, living in Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs).

Sedentary residents (N=307) in 11 CCRCs received the multilevel MIPARC intervention or a control health education program for 6 months. A group randomized control design was employed with site as the unit of randomization. The intervention was delivered through group sessions, phone calls, printed materials, tailored signage and mapping and targeted peer led advocacy efforts.
