Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Purpose: To evaluate participant demographics and program distributions and understand characteristics of access in an older adult exercise program in Saskatchewan, Canada. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was circulated to exercise participants and leaders to understand and evaluate demographics, program locations, and characteristics of participant access. Results: Of 589 complete participant and 207 leader surveys, most respondents were female (87% and 94%, respectively) and white (97% for both groups), with 68% of participants and 49% of leaders being urban residents. Some equity-deserving groups such as widows and low-income earners were well-represented. Program density was higher in regions with dedicated implementation staffing, and travel was the most agreed-upon barrier to access. Conclusion: There is evidence of under- and over-representation of certain equity-deserving populations in this exercise program, as well as regional differences in program availability. Future research could explore system-wide factors that support ongoing program implementation while reducing equity-related gaps.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
