(Sponsor: Karen Croteau, FACSM) (No relationships reported) Understanding the process of translating evidence-based interventions into longterm community practice and the impact that this process has on the population is paramount to the future development of health promoting initiatives. PurPOsE: The aim of this study was to examine this impact by using the RE- AIM evaluation on the ManUp Project, a physical activity (PA) and healthy eating intervention for middle-aged males. METhOds: Data were collected for each RE-AIM measure using a computer assisted telephone interview survey (N=312), interviews with key individuals from local organisations (N=12), and examination of project related statistics and findings. Reach was assessed by level of individual awareness of ManUp and the number of organisations that requested ManUp information/resources (N=108). Efficacy was assessed by changes in PA and nutrition behaviours. Adoption was assessed by number of individuals who registered for the program (and their recall of the program). Implementation was assessed by number of organisations that implemented the program in their workplace. Maintenance was assessed by website usage patterns and number of organisations that made ManUp part of their general workplace health initiative rEsuLTs: In terms of Reach, the overall level of awareness was 46.5%, and all organisations requested subsequent ManUp information/resources; Efficacy, the intervention was successful in increasing the weekly mins (p

(No relationships reported) BaCKGrOuNd: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of nontraumatic disability in young adults. Participation in structured and monitored physical activity programs found improvements in the functional capacity of persons with MS. However, access to such programs is limited for some MS patients due to their geographic locations and/or mobility restraint. PurPOsE: To evaluate the efficacy of a televideo health care delivery model to maintain functional capacity in persons with MS while providing a high degree of patient satisfaction. METhOds: This is a retrospective evaluation of the Rural Veterans Telerehabilitation Initiative (RVTRI). All participants of the RVTRI were referred by local VA primary care providers. The Veterans’ participated in the tele-rehabilitation program were assessed using the following outcome measures: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Quick DASH, and health-related quality of life (VR 12), Patient and Provider Satisfaction. These outcomes were collected both at baseline/admission and discharge. The WilCoxon signed rank test was applied to compare each outcome measure between baseline and follow-up scores. rEsuLTs: The RVTRI included 9 participants with MS (8 male/1 female) aged between 50-65 years. These participants lived an average 71 miles away from the VA Medical Center. On the average, they spent 116 days in the program with an average of 10 visits by the allied professionals (PT, OT, RT). With the RVTRI program, the travel time saved was an average of 22 hours driving time, 1,300 road miles, and $537 of reimburseable travel per patient (p
