New Frailty Self-Management Health Coach Study Starting in March 2023

Self-Management BC is launching a new study in the Fraser Health Region to evaluate the effectiveness of peer coaches using self management strategies and the Canadian AVOID Strategy to slow down and/or prevent the progression of frailty in older adults.

To Volunteer as a Health Coach

Health coaches will:
  • Receive training
  • Be paired with a study participant
  • Provide a 45-minute weekly telephone call for 13 weeks
  • Provide support, encouragement, and empower the participants towards health-enhancing actions.

For more information about the study and eligibility requirements, or if you are interested in volunteering as a Frailty Health Coach, contact Gurpreet Sandhu, Study Coordinator, at 604-946-0195.
