Implications of Active Living by Design for broad adoption, successful implementation, and long-term sustainability.

摘要

It is clear that there is a need to pay attention to the contextual factors that will promote the broad adoption, successful implementation, and long-term sus-tainability of community-based environment and policy change. Reviews of both clinical and community-based interventions have shown that information about the intervention setting, how a program or policy is implemented, and how it is institutionalized are reported much less often than individual-level factors. Thus, as best practices for active living are identified, there is an equally important opportunity to identify ways to ensure that these best practices will be adopted, implemented, and maintained.
