peer-reviewed journal article(s) describing the program, arthritis
population evaluated, and statistically significant impacts of
arthritis outcomes via program participation.

locally, whether virtually or in person (e.g., training manuals,
fidelity assessments for delivery partners, other program delivery

NEW BRFSS Statistical Brief on Tools for Partners Page
|
|
The 2021 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System (BRFSS) statistical brief is now available on the CDC Arthritis
website.
BRFSS is the nation’s premier system of
health-related telephone surveys that collect state data about US
residents regarding their health-related risk behaviors, chronic health
conditions, and use of preventive services. This brief provides
guidance to BRFSS coordinators and researchers who would like to conduct
analyses of arthritis-specific measures that have appeared in either the
BRFSS Core Module or the optional Arthritis Module.
The brief is available on the Tools for
Partners webpage listed under Policy Information and Reports.

The Community Preventive Services Task Force Community
Guide Recommendation
|
|
Did you know that The Community Guide
released another recommendation that supports physical activity among
older adults via home-based exercise? The new recommendation, “Physical
Activity: Home-based Exercise Interventions for Adults Aged 65years and
Older,” aligns with several of our remotely delivered AAEBIs.
Interventions must include the following:
- Specific
exercises, initial instruction on routines, and limited or periodic
supervision.
- Exercise
sessions two or more times per week.
- Exercises
targeting improvements in strength (e.g., muscle strength, muscle
power, and muscle endurance), balance, or both (i.e., multimodal).
- Low-cost
equipment for exercises (e.g., hand weights, mats, towels) or
exercises that make use of resources already in the home (e.g.,
chairs).
