Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how older adults might benefit from sessions that teach behavioral coping skills for increasing physical activity and reducing interference from arthritis pain. This study will randomize individuals to receive Engage-PA, or continue to receive treatment as usual. Engage-PA involves two sessions (about 45 minutes each) with a study therapist that teaches individuals behavioral skills for increasing daily steps. These behavioral skills include identifying their personal values and instructions on how to pace their daily physical activity to avoid creating severe pain when walking. All participants in the study will wear small devices that track physical activity such as daily steps throughout the study, which also allow participants to see their daily step counts and overall level of activity. All participants will answer a set of questions about how much arthritis gets the way of many important life activities, their success at living in line with their personal values, and how much thoughts, feelings and body sensations get in the way of living a satisfying life. These questions will be asked at the beginning of the study and 6 weeks into the study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants Enrolled in the Study
Time Frame: 9 months
How many participants, up to the expected 40 participants, enroll in the study within the study period
Number of Participants Who Completed the Entire Program
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Participants who complete all assessments and required study sessions
Percentage of Participants Who Were Mostly or Very Satisfied With the Intervention
Time Frame: Post treatment (6 weeks)
Client Satisfaction Questionnaire asks 12 questions related to patient satisfaction on a Likert scale of 1 = very satisfied to 7 = very dissatisfied. There is one item assessing overall satisfaction with the intervention, and the percentage of participants responding to this item with "mostly" or "very" satisfied is reported below.
