Implementation of Physical Activity programs at-Scale: The Why and How of it
A half-day workshop to study and discuss physical activity interventions at scale across setting and populations.
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Monday 5 June 2017
Register by April 21!
COURSE DESCRIPTION
There is a gap between what is known from small-scale research studies and what is implemented at scale— the ‘know-do gap’. Most research studies within an academic paradigm generate data that demonstrate efficacy in volunteers and selected samples. However, to achieve widespread public health benefits, it is essential to identify factors and processes that are in place to implement and deliver evidence-based interventions at scale. In response, an area of research has emerged that relates to evaluating how best to scale-up smaller programs or effective health innovations so that they have impact at the population level.
At this half-day satellite meeting, participants will: (1) discuss frameworks for delivering physical activity interventions at scale; (2) Learn about real-world examples of delivering physical activity interventions at scale across different populations (from young to old) and settings (schools and community); and (3) discuss pragmatic issues and processes related to evaluating interventions implemented at scale.
