“…The primary outcome is the change in WEMWBS score between the baseline assessment (M0) and the end of the 3-month cycle (M3), calculated using the formula ((score M n + 1 – score M n )/((score M n + 1 + score M n )/2)) × 100 [ 21 , 26 ], expressed in percentage. Mean values and standard deviations will be used to define quantitative variables.…”

“…The number of participants required for this study has been calculated to detect the expected change in WEMWBS score between the baseline assessment (M0) and the end of the 3-month cycle (M3) calculated using the formula ((score M n + 1 – score M n )/((score M n + 1 + score M n )/2)) × 100. The expected difference between intervention and control group was estimated 5.2 ± 10.3 based on a previous study [ 21 ].

“…The relationship between well-being, quality of life, and physical health is complex. Previous studies, including our first study, suggested the existence of a chronological sequence of benefits: positive experiences induced by art-based activities improve well-being, which improves quality of life and, finally, physical health [ 6 – 13 , 21 ]. This sequence may explain the changes in outcomes over time reported in our first study.…”

“…For instance, in 2015, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) developed “Thursdays at the Museum,” which is a participatory art-based activity performed by older community dwellers who live in Montreal creating art in group settings. In 2018, the effects of this participatory art-based activity on the well-being, quality of life, and frailty (i.e., physical health) of older community dwellers were examined [ 21 ]. With a pre-post intervention, single arm, prospective, and longitudinal design, we showed that the MMFA’s participatory art-based activity improved the well-being, quality of life, and frailty of older community dwellers in Montreal.…”

Background: Recently, we demonstrated that the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts' (MMFA) participatory art-based activity, known as "Thursdays at the Museum," improved the well-being, quality of life, and physical health (i.e., frailty) of older community dwellers by using a pre-post intervention, single arm, prospective and longitudinal experimental design. The present randomized clinical trial (RCT), known as the Art-Health RCT (A-Health RCT), aims to compare changes in well-being, quality of life, frailty, and physiological measures in older community dwellers who participate in "Thursdays at the Museum" (intervention group) and in their counterparts who do not participate in this art-based activity (control group). Methods/design: The current unicenter, randomized, clinical, controlled, comparative trial recruits 150 older community dwellers to two parallel arms (75 participants in the intervention group and 75 participants in the control group). The intervention is a 3-month cycle of weekly "Thursdays at the Museum," which are structured 2-h-long art-based workshops performed in a group setting at the MMFA. The control group is composed of participants who do not take part in artbased activities, receive their usual health and/or social services, and commit to report any other activity practiced during the same time. Assessments of the primary outcome (well-being) and the secondary outcomes (quality of life, frailty, and physiological measures including heart rate, daily step count, sleep duration, and its phases) are performed on six occasions: at baseline, at the beginning of the second and third months, at the end of the third month, as well as 6 and 12 months after the last workshop. Statistical analyses are performed with the intention to treat and per protocol. Comparisons of changes in outcome measures between intervention and control groups use repeated measures tests.
