Process evaluation of the ACE randomised controlled trial

We are working closely with colleagues from the Universities of Birmingham, Manchester, and Cardiff Met, to conduct a systems-based process evaluation alongside a 3-year randomised controlled trial. We conducted systems mapping with participants (older people from Manchester Stoke and Cardiff) as well as stakeholders and volunteers. This showed how the system supports (or hinders) people in becoming physically active. Mapping will be repeated at the end of the trial to see how the context has changed over time.
