WP6: Mixed method RCT

WP6 is a mixed-method randomized controlled trial (RCT). All activities are directed toward the establishment of the RCT, estimated to begin in autumn 2026. Led by Bettina S. Husebø, this will be a 12-week RCT to explore the effect and cost-effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention in home-dwelling older adults with CC.

Pilot study

Prior to the RCT, a pilot study will test functionality and evaluate whether offering interventions in social activity, physical exercise, sleep, and nutrition through ALIVE improves goal attainment and supports independent living. The effect of ALIVE will be investigated in an 8-week mixed-method, multicomponent study in home-dwelling older adults with CC. We will test the effect of ALIVE on Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS), a person-centred outcome measure that uses a five-point scale to score progress toward individualized goals. Data collection will include traditional assessment scales and digital measures. We will develop interview guides and conduct focus groups and in-depth interviews to investigate user perspectives regarding digital sleep interventions, attitudes towards technology and ethics, and digital nutrition education.
