Who is studied
The study population was derived from a previously conducted cluster-randomized controlled trial of reablement in adult day service (ADS) centers in a county in central Taiwan. Nine centers participated in the source study, including four centers assigned to an enhanced reablement condition and five centers serving as the comparison condition. Individuals were eligible if they were aged 65 years or older and able to follow instructions; those with unstable physical conditions that prevented regular participation in ADS activities were excluded. The analysis used existing claim data from the source study. Among 249 ADS users represented in the study dataset, 160 were included in the final analytic sample, comprising 77 participants from the enhanced reablement group and 83 participants from the comparison group.
