Evaluation of a co-designed community-based physical activity program with immigrant South Asian older women: an intersectional RE-AIM/PRISM analysis of acceptability and feasibility.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsTo use the RE-AIM/PRISM Framework to evaluate a co-designed community-based physical activity program for immigrant South Asian older (ISAO) women.
designA qualitative-driven community based participatory research study that draws on intersectionality theory.
methodsThe STRONG Program 'Seniors Thriving, Reaching Out, and Growing' is an eight-week hybrid intervention, combining virtual health education with in-person exercise sessions, that was co-designed with ISAO women in Edmonton, Canada. Data sources were participant observations, post-intervention interviews and conversation circles, facilitator debriefs and meeting minutes. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to examine RE-AIM/PRISM dimensions and intersectional influences shaping program acceptability and feasibility.
resultsThirty-four ISAO women participated in the study. Reach was facilitated by relational safety, community champions, and family support. Perceived effectiveness was reflected in acceptance and satisfaction via high attendance (82%) and participant-reported improvements in physical function and social connectedness. Adoption and implementation were shaped by an intergenerational contract in which family members provided essential digital and transportation support, while South Asian facilitators bridged clinical expertise with holistic, strength-based care. Maintenance was challenged by structural inequities; however, organizational partnerships fostered continuity of program success.
conclusionThe STRONG program demonstrates that health promotion for ISAO women is acceptable and feasible when grounded in relational safety and family support. Long-term sustainability requires moving beyond individual-level interventions to address structural barriers related to transportation equity, digital literacy, and the integration of clinical expertise within community-based organizations.
