Comparing group-based and one-to-one occupational therapy for improving daily living activities

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This trial evaluates the effectiveness, processes, and cost-effectiveness of the ADAPT Program, a peer-exchange group-based occupational therapy intervention, compared to usual one-to-one occupational therapy for individuals with chronic conditions affecting their ability to perform daily living activities. The study involves a randomized controlled trial design with 130 participants who will be assigned to either the ADAPT Program or usual occupational therapy. The primary outcome will be measured using the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) to assess changes in ADL ability. The trial aims to determine if the group-based approach is as effective as traditional methods while potentially offering additional benefits.
