Age Well SG strand: Encourage active ageing
Principal Investigator: Dr Charlene Lau Lay Khoon (Senior Research Fellow, GERI)
Collaborating Organisation(s): Ageing Planning Office, Ministry of Health, Singapore (MOH), Health Analytics Division, MOH; Health Promotion Board (HPB), People’s Association (PA)
Gap: The LWAW Programme, administered by HPB and the PA, comprises a suite of active ageing programmes to empower older adults to improve and maintain their physical, mental and social health. To better understand the effectiveness of the LWAW programme, GERI is leading an evaluation of the programme, supported by MOH.
Planned Solution: Using a mixed methods approach, the team aims to evaluate the programme’s implementation outcomes as well as its immediate and short-term outcomes amongst older adults, such as knowledge, self-efficacy, and stages of behaviour change.
Anticipated Impact: The findings of this study will contribute to the planning, design and implementation of future iterations of active ageing programmes for community-dwelling older adults.
Duration: Jul 2024 to Oct 2025
