Abstract
- •This multisite clinical trial tests whether Positive Minds-Strong Bodies (PMSB), a disability prevention intervention offered in four languages, is acceptable to minority and immigrant elders and feasible to be offered by paraprofessionals.•The 6-month intent-to-treat analyses showed significant intervention effects in improving late-life functioning and lowering mood symptoms while the 12-month analyses showed sustained significant effects on self-reported disability, disability days, and mood symptoms.•The PMSB intervention shows promise in preventing disability in a diverse sample of minority and immigrant elders.
