Individual and Family-based Approaches to Increase Physical Activity in Adolescents With IDD
The objective of this study is to compare the effect of two strategies to increase MVPA in
adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD): a single level
intervention delivered to the adolescent only, and a multi-level intervention delivered to
both the adolescent and a parent .
adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD): a single level
intervention delivered to the adolescent only, and a multi-level intervention delivered to
both the adolescent and a parent .
We will study adolescents with mild to moderate IDD. Each participant will have 1 designated
parent who supports the participant during the physical activity (PA) intervention and in the
adolescent and parent arm does the physical activity with the participant. Approximately 29
participants/yr. over 4 yrs. will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation to a remote group-based
program of MVPA delivered to the adolescent (AO) or a multi-level intervention delivered to
both the adolescent and a parent (A+P). Both interventions will be 12 mos. (6 mos. active
intervention, 6 mos. maintenance intervention) with a 6 mos. no-contact follow-up targeted to
increase MVPA to the recommended 60 min/d. Both intervention will include real-time MVPA
sessions delivered to groups of 5-7 adolescents in their homes using video conferencing
software (ZoomTM) with homework assignments designed to increase MVPA on the non-group
session days. Parents of adolescents in the A+P group will be asked to participate in the
group video MVPA sessions and homework activity, and to attend sessions (0-6 mos. 2
session/mo.; 7-12 mos. 1 session/mo.) with their adolescent and the health coach designed to
educate/support parents regarding the role of MVPA in health and function and strategies for
increasing MVPA and decreasing sedentary time in both their adolescent and themselves. All
participants will monitor their daily PA using a Fitbit wireless activity tracker.
