Mixed method evaluation of a community-based physical activity program using the RE-AIM framework: Practical application in a real-world setting

摘要

BackgroundCommunities are a pivotal setting in which to promote increases in child and adolescent physical activity behaviours. Interventions implemented in these settings require effective evaluation to facilitate translation of findings to wider settings. The aims of this paper are to i) present findings from a RE-AIM evaluation of a community-based physical activity program, and ii) review the methodological challenges faced when applying RE-AIM in practice.
