Publications from the CHAMPS Studies

We provide a list of publications from the three CHAMPS studies, as well as on promoting physical activity in older adults, organized as follows:

  • CHAMPS I: a demonstration project for seniors in low-income housing
  • CHAMPS II: a randomized controlled trial of CHAMPS in a Medicare HMO
  • CHAMPS III: diffusion of CHAMPS into diverse community settings
  • Promoting physical activity in older adults

You can also download this list as a WORD file, which also includes hyperlinks.  For a pdf of any of these publications, email Anita Stewart ([email protected]).
