Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Musculoskeletal Health Questionnaire (MSK-HQ) measured at baseline, 6- and 12-month follow up | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Chronic disease self-efficacy as measured on the Self-Efficacy Scale for managing Chronic Diseases (SESMCD) at baseline, 6- and 12-months follow up. 2. Directly measured step count, using an ActivPAL physical activity monitor. Physical activity monitoring will be completed at baseline, and at 12-months follow-up. 3. Aspects of health related QoL as measured on the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire at baseline, 6- and 12-month follow up. 4. Self-Assessment of frailty as measured on the Pictorial Fit-Frail Scale (PFFS) at baseline, 6- and 12-month follow up. 5. Number of falls recorded using a Falls History Questionnaire at baseline and at 6- and 12-months follow-up. 6. Healthcare resource use, obtained through consented linkage to NHS Digital and SAIL. Datasets will include primary care (where available), hospital admissions, surgery, outpatient, and emergency care. A CSRI will also be used to capture additional healthcare resource use, which cannot be obtained through NHS Digital or SAIL in the detail required (e.g., primary care data, social care data, prescription data). Completed at baseline, 6- and 12-month follow up. 7. Health literacy as measured on the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ). The HLQ evaluates the cognitive and social skills which determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand and use information in a way that promotes and maintains good health. We will be employing a sub-set of domains from the HLQ which cover basic/functional health literacy and communicative/interactive health literacy. The HLQ will only be completed at baseline only. | — |
