Abstract
Many interventions designed to promote meaningful activity engagement among older adults have been trialled. Unfortunately, lack of efficacy data for these interventions has meant that there is often a limited understanding as to the ‘active ingredients’ that have contributed to intervention success or otherwise. This study examined the experiences of older adults who do/do not engage in formal activity programs, in particular what they perceived to be the most and least effective aspects of such programs, and what may encourage or reduce engagement.
