Abstract:
In this article, a description of how a comprehensive health promotion program for older adults was developed, tested with a quasi-experimental study design, and then revised to become a nationwide AARP and Red Cross program is presented. Teaching and learning methods used in the course are described with supporting education and behavioral theory. The course content for instructors, facilitators, and course participants is outlined. The key elements in the preparation of instructors and facilitators are identified. Results of the implementation of the program are given.
