RESEARCH SUPPORT AND GRANT-RELATED ACTIVITIES From 1981-2001, as a Federal Government employee, I could not obtain extramural research support. This section highlights ongoing projects as well as completed projects, providing brief descriptions to illustrate funded research efforts at Texas A&M.

Ongoing Research Projects: Co-Principal Investigator. 2019-2022. Improved AD/ADRD Assessment Sensitivities Using a Novel In-Situ Sensor Systems. The ability to perform various daily functions is an established predictor of cognitive decline in older adults and a useful predictor in independent living and functioning. This fast track SBIR project funded by the National Institute on Aging addresses the critical need for better assessment tools in dementia research and care. The primary objective is to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of using the Birkeland Current Sovrin IoT system to continuously and accurately assess daily functions, ADLs, and IADLs, for persons experiencing cognitive decline in a home or assisted care settings. Texas A&M is serving as the academic partner and will facilitate input from the advisory group as well as oversee the evaluation. Co-Principal Investigator. 2019-2022. The Rural Moonshot Program. As part of a multi-project Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) Moonshot Initiative, we will lead a diabetes intervention project to address the staggering burden of diabetes in Texas, building upon infrastructure already assembled through Healthy South Texas. The specific aims are to: (1) determine the effectiveness of different diabetes self-management approaches on self-care behaviors and clinical outcomes; (2) assess the impact of the different approaches on health care utilization and associated costs; (3) conduct a process evaluation of the feasibility, usability and adherence to each intervention protocol; and (4) recommend best practices that can be both scaled and sustained over time. As part of this overall initiative, we are also developing a community engagement core to proactively engage primary stakeholders in the different project communities. Drawing on best practices for promoting community engagement, we will work with project teams individually, as well as host periodic trainings for all BCBS investigators on cross-cutting issues. Co-Principal Investigator. 2019-2021. Teens Think Smart: A Novel Approach to Preventing Opioid Misuse among Adolescents in Rural Texas. Funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration, this project is a multi-component community-based opioid abuse and misuse prevention intervention targeting 300 rural seventh and eighth grade students in multiple rural Texas counties. The project will be informed by a community-based participatory methodology, which engages the community through the formation of health coalitions that will participate in a community readiness assessment, and assist with planning and implementing the Teens Think Smart curriculum, engaging school districts, local government, law enforcement, and health entities.

Co-Principal Investigator. 2019-2021. Dementia Connections: Expansion of Dementia Specific Case Management. Given the aging of the population, there is an urgent need to provide better, more responsive services for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and their families. The purpose of this project is to conduct a rigorous evaluation of the Dementia-Specific Case Management program. With continued funding from the Administration for Community Living, the program expansion will include: (1) improved efficiencies in service provision to better address unmet needs; (2) an addition of a medication management program (HomeMeds) and medical case reviews to reduce individual’s adverse health events; and (3) planned collaborations (e.g., community organization, an integrated health system; and an academic health care center) to provide necessary referrals and information to make the business case for the dementia-specific care management model. Co-Principal Investigator. 2019-2020. Working on Wellness: Promoting Physical Activity through Tactical Urbanism. Alarming rates of obesity are a persistent public health challenge in Hidalgo County, Texas. Since 2015, Working on Wellness (WoW) coalitions in Hidalgo County have collaborated to develop and implement policy, systems and environmental (PSE) interventions that address environmental determinants of obesity. This project will serve as a training laboratory for students to design and implement a community intervention that addresses gaps in the built environment in order to create an environment that supports physical activity. Public health students will have an opportunity to collaborate with WoW coalition members, transportation planners, urban planning students and public health faculty to develop and implement a pop-up demonstration project that utilizes tactical urbanism strategies in an effort to enhance and increase physical activity opportunities for healthy living. Principal Investigator (Multi-PI Investigator). 2018-2020. Dementia Friendly Communities to promote Active Living. Little is known about the role of different environmental domains (e.g., built, natural and social) on physical activity, social interaction, and overall independence of persons with dementia. Funded through the National Institute on Aging as an administrative supplement to an ongoing NIH study of environmental impacts on physical activity, this project has three specific aims, centered on advancing the understanding of various housing and neighborhood environments for persons with AD/ADRD. By identifying the significant barriers and facilitators in the built, natural, and social environments in which people with AD/ADRD live, and by collaborating with dementia experts and built environmental professionals, this research aims to identify environmental strategies to promote physical activity, social interaction, and independence of people with AD/ADRD and reduce burdens on their caregivers. This project will be utilized to refine study protocols and obtain pilot data for more extensive research in this understudied area. Principal Investigator (sub-contract). 2018-2023. GamePlan4 Care: Web-based Delivery System for REACH II. With an aging population, there is a rapidly growing number of persons with dementia, and concerns about burdens placed on family caregivers. This NIH-funded research applies technology to an existing evidence-based intervention, Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer’s Caregiver Health II (REACH II). The

goal is to create a scalable and sustainable on-line family caregiver support system to be accomplished through two study aims: (1) advance the current proof-of-concept GP4C into a viable delivery system for the REACH II intervention; and (2) compare the relative impact of GP4C and GP4C-Education on a wide range of family caregiver outcomes. GamePlan4Care is a novel multifaceted intervention concept tested in a previously funded Texas Cares grant. Working collaboratively with colleagues at Baylor Scott and White Health who are designing and implementing GamePlan4Care, Center investigators are responsible for evaluation. Co-Principal Investigator. 2018-2020. Assessing the Utility of Dementia Patient Monitoring Technology. Persons living with dementia (PWD) who wander due to disorientation and underlying agitation are at increased risk for harm due to being in an unsupervised environment, which can increase the burden of care for family caregivers. This pilot study, funded by the Texas Alzheimer’s Research and Care Consortium, aims to test the feasibility of a multi-component intervention that integrates a technology-based approach to increase PWD safety with evidence-informed skills training for caregivers. It examines the usability of a specially programmed watch (e.g., amount of time worn by PWD, features used by caregivers) and user satisfaction (e.g., whether it meets user expectations and needs, ease of use, what, if any changes the users would recommend) of the wearable technology that provides location information and two–way communication between caregivers and care-recipients. Principal Investigator (Multi-PI Investigator). 2018-2023. Fighting Obesity by Reinventing Public Transportation: A Natural Experiment. Use of public transit has been associated with increased physical activity and considered a promising approach to reducing the risk of obesity and other age-related chronic conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. This timely study uses a pre-post case-comparison design to examine the causal impact of Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) and other supporting strategies on residents’ physical activity. The specific aims are to: (1) determine physical activity impacts of BRT; (2) examine physical activity impacts of specific implementation strategies, including education (e.g., lifting the knowledge barrier by offering a smartphone app and training to assist transit trip scheduling) and modifying cost (e.g., lifting the financial barrier to transit use by executing an introductory free-fare strategy); and (3) explore benefits and costs of BRT implementation, and barriers and facilitators of BRT use. Principal Investigator. 2018-2020. Texas A&M Triads for Transformation Opioid Epidemic’s Impact on Older Adults. While public health officials recognize the devastating nationwide impacts of the opioid epidemic on Americans of all socio-demographic backgrounds, scant attention is paid to the impact of opioid use/misuse among older adults, especially those in rural areas. This preliminary research, funded through the President’s Excellence Award, will: (1) identify older adults who are at high risk of negative impacts due to the opioid crisis; (2) understand the myriad ways in which older adults may be affected; (3) evaluate the costs of the epidemic in terms of needed medical care and social services, both personally and to the health care

system; and (4) conduct an environmental scan of effective clinical, educational, behavioral, technological and/or policy solutions for mitigating impacts of the opioid epidemic on older adults and their families. Principal Investigator (Multi-PI Investigator). 2015-2020. Physical Activity Impacts of a Planned Activity-Friendly Community (AFC). With a multidisciplinary investigative team representing public health, architecture, engineering, computer sciences and education, this NIH-funded longitudinal, case-comparison study will examine how an activity friendly community, which embodies the best practices in environmental design and policy, can increase residents' levels of physical activity and influence when and where they are physically active. It will also provide insights into why environmental and psychosocial factors influence physical activity, and how place impacts lifestyle behaviors related to the burden of obesity. The specific aims are to: (1) examine the short-term and long-term changes in total PA levels and in spatial and temporal patterns of physical activity after sedentary or insufficiently active individuals move from non-AFCs to an AFC; and (2) determine what built and natural environmental factors lead to changes in Physical activity among these populations, either directly or indirectly by affecting psychosocial factors related to physical activity. HSC Lead Investigator. 2015-2020. Healthy South Texas. Recognizing the combined strengths of Texas A&M University AgriLife Extension and the Health Sciences Center, the Texas legislature set aside substantial funding for a Healthy South Texas Initiative. The focus of this initiative is on the delivery of prevention and outreach services to 27 counties in South Texas. Diabetes, Asthma, Infectious Disease, and Well baby promotion are the initial priority areas for a proposed ten year planning cycle. The Health Science Center is responsible for adding health content and infrastructure to expanded outreach activities, and for creating educational opportunities to enhance the pipeline of professional and lay experts focused on prevention and management strategies improving the health and well-being of South Texas residents. The School of Public Health is responsible for scientific direction and the evaluation of the ten points of action. Healthy South Texas serves as the pilot project for an expanded Healthy Texas.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission received federal funding through the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare’s to implement an 1115 Transformation Waiver project to provide quality care for low-income Texans. The Center for Population Health and Aging provides a centralized resource for training, implementing, and evaluating evidence-based self-management and wellness programs. In conjunction with the Texas Active for Life® Coalition, the Center seeks to facilitate health care providers and agencies’ capacity to select and implement evidence-based health promotion/disease prevention to reduce the burden of illness in our nine county Regional HealthCare Partnership (RHP) 17 region. Current activities are centered on disseminating Making Moves With Diabetes, a program which has the potential to improve clinical outcomes and result in substantial health care cost savings. Co-Principal Investigator. 2016 to 2019. No Falls Partnership (NFP). Falls continue to be a public health problem impacting older adults, their families, health care systems, and the aging services network. Funded by the Administration for Community Living, NFP will enhance the 2015-2017 Falls Reduction Education and Empowerment (FREE) project into an integrated network of 15 partners who will provide screening, referral, and participation opportunities for A Matter of Balance (AMOB). NFP will increase capacity by adding Spanish and Vietnamese AMOB to current system. NFP’s goals are to: (1) increase number of low-income and minority participants in AMOB; (2) increase number of AMOB Master Trainers and Volunteer Lay Leaders; (3) increase underserved population by 15%, especially in falls “hotspots”; (4) create sustainable funding throughout integrated health care and managed care partnerships; and (5) utilize geo-mapping to enhance falls prevention infrastructure. Texas A&M serves as the academic partner. Principal Investigator. 2016-2019. SUSTAIN for Better Health and Health Care for Older Adults. Widespread dissemination of evidence-based programs for older adults requires coordinated local and regional efforts. Funded by the Administration for Community Living as one of seven community grants to address the burdens of chronic disease among the aging population, this project will serve as the bridge to embed a suite of Stanford Patient Education Chronic Disease Self-Management Education (CDSME) programs within a 59 county region to strengthen and support Area Agency on Aging (AAA’S) services as a sustainable and reimbursable model. SUSTAIN’s objectives are to: (1) create and evaluate a replicable healthcare referral model for linking clinical and community sectors; (2) examine Return on Investments (ROI) for the healthcare sector; and (3) strengthen AAA’s by creating a business case for CDSME reimbursement. Co-Principal Investigator. 2016-2018. Texas Cares: Model for Dementia Capable Communities. Funded by the Texas Alzheimer's Research and Care Consortium, this

was a collaborative effort between Texas A&M and Baylor Scott and White Health to provide Persons with Dementia (PWD) and their family caregiver’s access to local services and supports that have been proven to promote the health and well‐being of the PWD and their family caregivers. Objectives of this pilot research study were to concept test a comprehensive model of care to: (1) promote dementia friendly communities for Texans; (2) personalize educational and support services through candid interviews with dementia caregivers; and (3) create an online adaptation of an evidence-based intervention to provide tailored resources and coaching. This seed funding has resulted in funded projects to further develop and pilot test behavioral, environmental, and technological approaches to dementia care. Co-Principal Investigator. 2014-2018. Working on Wellness. In response to the CDC Funding Opportunity on Programs to Reduce Obesity in High Obesity Areas, Working on Wellness (WOW), a community-based program was established to address obesity in Hidalgo County, Texas, where more than 40% of its 800,000 residents were obese. The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Public Health partnered to address the obesity issue in Hidalgo County by combining the skills and expertise of both organizations to improve access to healthier foods and safe places for physical activity. Bringing a wide array of specialists to support project implementation and evaluation, both organizations have a strong presence in Hidalgo County and considerable experience implementing and evaluating community prevention programs in border communities. Utilizing a community-based participatory approach, community assessments were conducted and proposed strategies for addressing high rates of obesity vetted with community stakeholders. The School of Public Health was responsible for the process and outcomes evaluation. Principal Investigator. 2015-2017. Texercise Select—Building the Evidence-Based Program. Texercise Select is a statewide health promotion created collaboratively between the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services and Texas A&M School of Public Health Program on Healthy Aging. The program combines: (1) education about the importance of physical activity and healthy eating; (2) skill-building sessions for learning how to set and achieve attainable lifestyle goals; and (3) a multi-component exercise program designed to increase strength, endurance, balance, and flexibility. Following up on an earlier study which standardized Texercise Select, major objectives of this study were to examine: (1) the impact of Texercise Select on increased physical activity and healthy eating, enhanced social interaction, improved perceived quality of life, and better physical functioning; (2) the relationship between intervention dosage and study outcomes; (3) potential differential impacts across participant characteristics; (4) programmatic costs and quality-adjusted life years attributed to program; and (5) factors affecting (i.e. barriers, facilitators) program implementation, dissemination, and long/short-term sustainability. This research enabled Texercise select to be considered an evidence-based program and eligible for title 3D funding. Co-Principal Investigator. 2016-2017. Reinventing Public Transportation Programs to Fight Obesity Epidemic: A Pilot Study in El Paso, Texas. Little is known about the causal impact of a rapid bus transit system on nearby residents’

physical activity. There are many methodological challenges to overcome in designing a rigorous longitudinal case-control study to understand how new transportation options affect obesity risk factors among a predominantly lower-income Hispanic population. With internal Texas A&M University funding (PESCA), a multidisciplinary team with expertise in architecture, urban design, transportation sciences, and public health conducted pilot work to develop valid, reliable, and culturally sensitive recruitment strategies and data collection protocols needed to submit a competitive NIH grant proposal in 2017. The R01 submission was reviewed successfully and Fighting Obesity by Reinventing Public Transportation: A Natural Experiment was funded in 2018. Principal Investigator (subcontract). 2015-2017. Falls Reduction Education and Empowerment (FREE).The United Way of Tarrant County (UWTC), in partnership with eight Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), the Texas Falls Prevention Coalition (TFPC) and other organizations, collectively known as “Falls Reduction Education and Empowerment (FREE) Partners,” was awarded funds by the Administration on Active Living, to reduce falls and falls risk in Texas. The School of Public Health oversaw the Texas Falls Free Coalition and evaluated the effectiveness of implementing A Matter of Balance (AMOB) among participating Area Agencies on Aging. The goal of graduating at least 4,000 participants in AMOB in Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and El Paso metropolitan areas was met. Through the TFPC, FREE provided training for FPPs to master trainers, physical therapists, emergency medical professionals and community health workers. FREE’s key sustainability partners, Texas Healthy at Home and WellMed, were consulted on best strategies to generate funding for program delivery and sustainability. Co-Investigator. 2016.

Thirty-two (32) Title I schools in four counties in Texas were invited to participate in the five-year project. The School of Public Health led the process evaluation examining key stakeholders’ perspectives of the implementation, dissemination, and sustainability of this program. Co-Principal Investigator. 2014-2016. The Texas A&M University Coalition for Healthy Active Living. Rapid advances in sensor technologies, big data analytics and processing, electronic health and medical records, and the realization of the so called “Internet of Things” have created a world in which devices and data can be harnessed to promote health and well-being in ways unimaginable just a mere decade ago. The Texas A&M University Center for Healthy Active Living (TAMU-CHAL) served as a research, education, outreach, and clinical nucleus within which multi-disciplinary research teams can be empowered to develop, test, and deploy new techniques and strategies which exploit this new ecosystem of data, services, and sensors to improve public and individual health. The core mission of this center was to engineer technologies and techniques for data collection and analyses, facilitate new forms of health research and analyses, and enable novel lines of health interventions, monitoring, and promotion for targeted populations of at-risk individuals. Co-Investigator, 2013-2016. Enhanced Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention for Low Income and Underserved Using Transdisciplinary Collaboration in a Family Medicine Setting. This grant tested innovative ways of increasing breast and cervical cancer screening and prevention activities in the Brazos Valley using nursing students and community health workers. The overall goal was to improve family medicine, nursing, and public health practice related to evidence-based, culturally-appropriate care in women’s cancer services. This proved to be a successful model to expand breast and cervical cancer services in rural and underserved areas. Principal Investigator, 2009-2015. Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network. Funded as a Special Initiative Project of the CDC Prevention Research Centers, the Communities of Texas: Cancer-Activity-Education-Research-Support (CTxCARES) was a member center of this CDC-funded thematic network. Our network was a catalyst for the adoption of evidence-based cancer prevention and control interventions in Central Texas. CTxCARES, as part of The Texas A&M School of Public Health Center for Community Health Development, partnered with Texas AgriLife Extension, Scott & White Healthcare, the Brazos Valley Area Agency on Aging, and other community and state-wide agencies to foster research on cancer prevention and control. The initial project focused on examining strategies for improving quality of life in cancer survivors.

Co-Principal Investigator. Policies, Programs, and Partners for Fall Prevention (PPPFP). 2012-2015. Funded as a Special Initiative Project of the CDC Prevention Research Centers, PPPFP addressed the urgent need to identify more effective public health strategies for reducing falls, fall-related injuries, and fall-related rates of emergency room visits among the growing population of seniors. This unique partnership between Texas A&M Health Science Center and the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and Public Health, examined falls related policies in over 40 state fall prevention coalitions. Another aspect of PPPFP was the evaluation of a training program for physical therapists to implement evidence-based fall prevention programs to be integrated with state and national fall prevention policies. The project developed fall prevention strategies and trained community health workers to help raise awareness about falls prevention and refer older adults to evidence-based programs. Principal Investigator. 2011-2015. Impact, Sustainability & Scalability of Multi-Component Falls Prevention Programs. Working collaboratively with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the three funded State Health Department Injury Programs, the goal was to facilitate the evaluation of the processes and impacts of state-driven fall prevention programs for older adults. The two primary aims during the initial three years of the states’ five-year, multi-component fall prevention program implementation were to: (1) determine the impact of the designated multi-component fall prevention interventions on health, health care utilization, and costs using quantitative and qualitative methods; and (2) build states’ capacity for ensuring program successes by providing technical assistance on strategies for enhancing and monitoring the reach, fidelity, sustainability, and scalability of evidence-based fall prevention programming. This work resulted in a lessons learned report shared with CDC staff and grantees. Evaluation Director. 2011-2015. Enhanced Colorectal Cancer Screening in a Family Medicine Residency Program (Co-PIs: David McClellan and Jane Bolin). This Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) grant addressed a critical unmet need for colon cancer screenings in the Brazos Valley by increasing the number of low-income underserved Texans, 50 years and older, who are referred to the Texas A&M Family Medicine Residency Clinic for CRC screenings. This project improved access to cancer screenings and follow-up care through culturally relevant case management from Promotoras/Community Health Workers (P/CHW), while simultaneously increasing the pool of family medicine residents and practicing family physicians trained in colonoscopy screenings in Texas. The evaluation team tracked the availability, accessibility and appropriateness of cancer screenings. Co-Principal Investigator. 2008-2015. Statewide Evaluation of Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies in Texas. This RWJF-funded project examined the impact of two policy initiatives designed to improve physical activity (PA) and eating behaviors of children at risk for obesity in Texas: (1) the Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program; and (2) the revised WIC food package for children. Submitted jointly by the UT Dell Center (co-lead: Deanna Hoelscher) and Texas A&M (co-lead: Marcia Ory), this project used a mixed methods approach for evaluation of these policies and included community-level (observations, GIS), organizational (counts of active transport at school, key informant

interviews), and interpersonal/intrapersonal (social norms about PA and food, safety perceptions, child PA, purchasing & food consumption) measures. Findings from this study were disseminated through a comprehensive policy outreach educational effort, including a series of high visibility policy forums and related activities coordinated through the Texas Health Institute and the Live Smart Texas coalition website to inform future policy implementation and development. Regional Director, 2010-2015. South, West and Central Consortium Geriatric Education Center of Texas (Texas A&M Health Science Center affiliate member). Funded through the Health Resources and Services Administration, the SWAC GEC was based at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. The primary purpose was to improve patient care for the aged through interdisciplinary partnerships with faculty and practitioners in the fields of gerontology and geriatrics. This was accomplished by providing culturally appropriate geriatric training to health professionals through both on-site and distance learning mediums. Working with our other member networks, the subcontract to Texas A&M Health Science Center provided the infrastructure to direct activities in the Brazos Valley to focus on advancing the knowledge base about chronic disease management for seniors. Co-Principal Investigator, 2009-2014. Special Initiative Project, Texas Healthy Aging Network (TxHAN) Center (PI: Joseph Sharkey).

Texas Healthy Lifestyles: Empowering Older People to Take More Control of Their Health Through Evidence-Based Prevention Programs (PI: Michael Wilson; Jeffery Kaufmann). This four-year project created a focal point at the state level for evidence-based health promotion to help seniors take control of their lives and reduce the risk of disease and disability. The centralized evaluation effort examined study impacts in terms of the five Re-AIM elements and assisted in the evaluation of local activities to implement the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program. Co-Principal Investigator, 2008-2011. Testing a Low-Literacy Diabetes Self-Management Education Kiosk. (Co-PI: Jane Bolin). This three-year research study, funded by The Morris L. Lichtenstein, Jr., Medical Research Foundation, evaluated the implementation and dissemination of a computer-assisted touch screen, low-literacy, Diabetes Education Kiosk in five clinics/organizations in the Corpus Christi/Coastal Bend region. After investigating readiness for implementation, the study team focused on translational implementation research questions, using a combination of focus group, survey, on site observation and computer tracking methodologies. After some local pilot testing in the Brazos Valley to test the feasibility and use of the Kiosk, we have redesigned the basic educational module to run off a web-based system so that we can more easily place KIOSKs in different geographical settings. Principal Investigator, 2004-2011. Health Maintenance Consortium Resource Center (HMCRC). The Health Maintenance Consortium represented twenty-one funded NIH grants examining factors associated with long-term behavioral maintenance. The Resource Center created an infrastructure to: (1) foster ongoing cross-site communications among the funded projects; (2) provide technical assistance to identify common questions, methods, and measures related to maintenance and sustainability and to address cross-cutting issues that add synergy to the individual projects; (3) establish a central clearinghouse for behavioral change concepts, assessment instruments, intervention protocols, methods, and data that can be beneficial for other researchers and practitioners; and (4) disseminate research findings to both researchers and practitioners. Nearly 50,000 individuals from adolescence to adulthood to old age were involved in this HMC-supported research, making this one of the largest group of studies of behavior change strategies.

Director, 2006-2009. Learning Network. Affiliated with the Active for Life® program, the Learning Network was designed to create a mechanism for sharing resources about successful approaches to active aging. Partnering with the National Blueprint, this project created an interactive Learning Network for the Building Healthy Communities Recognition Program which promotes the pairing of smart growth principles with activity programming for older adults. Co-Investigator, 2007-2009. Promoting Walking and Other Physical Activity among Obese and Diabetic Patients in Integrated Healthcare Plans (PI: Samuel Forjuoh). Funded through the Baylor Scott and White Health Services Research Foundation, this pilot study examined both physician and environmental influences on patient activity levels by: (1) assessing if, and how, healthcare providers encourage walking and engagement in other physical activity to their obese and diabetic patients; and (2) identifying specific built environmental facilitators of, and barriers to, walking and engagement in other physical activity in the neighborhood. Factors influencing doctor-patient interactions and the doctor’s understanding and application of environment-behavior-health linkages were examined. A major product was the development of a community resource guide for use by health care providers and patients to identify accessible places for physical activity. Consultant, 2007-2009. Texas Falls Prevention Coalition. This two-year project, funded through the Department of Aging and Disability Services, examined the implementation and outcome of A Matter of Balance, an evidence-based falls prevention program delivered throughout Texas.

The project delineated drug-use patterns that may influence dietary intake and nutritional status, physical performance, and disability, and it identified appropriate targets for tailored interventions.

Principal Investigator, 2002-2005. Assessing Existing Screening Guidelines for Physical Activity for Older Adults. Goals for this Robert Wood Johnson funded project included: (1) reviewing existing literature regarding exercise guidelines and the extent of adverse events associated with exercise interventions and different screening approaches for older adults; (2) surveying the trans-NIH Behavior Change Consortium to provide the latest empirical data on screening criteria utilized in these premier behaviorally-based physical activity interventions; and (3) conducting focus groups and organize informal working group sessions at selected national professional meetings. A screening roundtable of key stakeholders was organized to discuss strategies for disseminating best practices and tracking any adverse events associated with new recommendations. A major product was the development of the EasyForYou Screening tool. Principal Investigator, 2002-2004. Doctor-Patient Encounters: Communications about Lifestyle Recommendations and Other Geriatric Conditions. This was a small grant supported by The Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Public Health and Baylor Scott and White Health Services Research Program. The purpose was to examine how doctors communicate to their older patients regarding lifestyle recommendations and the influence of patient, physician, and setting factors. Additionally, we examined the amount of time spent in different lifestyle discussions. The study concluded that precious little time was spent on provider-patient discussions about lifestyle behaviors. Director, 2001-2009. Active for Life®. Active for Life® was a RWJF-sponsored National Program Office (NPO) to examine the applicability of two research-based physical activity programs to community settings. The primary purpose was to learn how to translate research to practice with an emphasis on how research-based programs need to be altered to be responsive to community needs and structures. In addition to providing scientific leadership, the NPO, in coordination with an external evaluation team, provided technical assistance to nine grantee sites to examine process and outcomes for more than 8,000 adults, age 50 and older. This study provided substantial experience in identifying essential intervention elements and learning how to make programs more culturally and population relevant so that they could be widely disseminated and sustained over time. It serves as the namesake for our Active for Life® program, a compilation of evidence-based and evidence-driven programs and interventions to improve the health and wellbeing of older Texans.
