Reviewing interventions delivered to whole communities: learnings and recommendations for application to policy, practice and evidence development.

摘要

Several reviews within The Cochrane Library address interventions designed to promote physical activity and exercise. Interventions investigated in these reviews have generally sought to increase the physical activity of individuals or specific groups of people. A new review published by the Cochrane Public Health Group entitled 'Community-wide Interventions for Increasing Physical Activity',examines the effectiveness of interventions that aim to improve the physical activity levels of an entire community.
