There are many promising opportunities to reduce sitting time using family-based approaches. Statements in terms of replication of interventions and explanations of the effective mechanisms within interventions are limited. Therefore, future interventions should use subjective as well as objective evaluation measures and consider overall sitting time. To strengthen the basis of interventional effort in this research field, a theoretical planning approach is recommended.
Although the transfer of an existing project can be a resource-efficient form of implementation of successful interventions, project transfers are rarely carried out in practice. The aim of this article is to pool the experience of 3 projects about the transfer of their prevention approaches to other municipalities and regions, as well as to make recommendations for future trans-regional transfer processes in the field of disease prevention and health promotion. To achieve this, documentation sheets were used and interviews were conducted with team members of the transfer projects. The results show that the ability to adapt intervention to context is an essential condition of successful implementation. In addition, there has to be a need for the intervention in the transfer region and a benefit to the participant organizations as well as to the team members. Furthermore, constructive and personal communication and cooperation between the participants of the original and the transferred project are required for successful transfer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
