“…It might be suggested that the 'sport and PA leaders' act, as Peterson, Rogers, Cunningham-Sabo, and Davis (2007) recommended, like 'linking agents' who can promote research-based guidelines from the regional level into the community. In other words, they act as a link between the guidelines for PA promotion advised by researchers and the regional SSA (resource system) on the one hand, and the local actors such as school, municipality, representatives of social PA programs, and sport clubs (user system) on the other.…”

School-community partnerships have shown their potential as incubators for innovations and for contributing to comprehensive physical activity (PA) programs. However, implementation frameworks for school-community partnerships that allow local tailoring of PA programs remain scarce. The present paper aims at documenting the composition of a framework for PA programs within schoolcommunity partnerships. The framework addresses socioecological strategies to promote extracurricular PA opportunities for pupils, which are integrated into five complementary components. To implement and reinforce the five components of the framework, involvement of schools, pupils, family, and community is facilitated by sustainable partnerships between these stakeholders. Partnerships are not only recommended on the school and community level, but also on a broader regional level that covers multiple communities. The development of the framework was an effort to integrate school-community partnerships into a flexible implementation framework for PA promotion. Implications of the framework for research agendas, professional education, and policy are formulated.

“…That the RD´s felt more engaged when a client had undergone NGx testing could explain dietary change in their clients. It is generally accepted that healthcare professionals play an integral role in bringing about behaviour change in consumers Solas et al, 2016).As 'diffusion of innovation' theory would suggest (Peterson et al, 2007; Rogers, 2003), the RD's appear to be 'champions' of the technology and acting as 'agents' in its application. Further research is required to unravel the effect of the messenger (practitioner) from the message (genotype) and the technology applied.…”

“…(FG2, Canada) Despite the perceived lack of support from dietetics peers and wider health professionals, the RD´s remained determined and optimistic, another key trait of early adopters (Wisdom et al, 2014 was unsurprising in view of the 'diffusion of innovation theory' whereby those with greater control to create change, are more likely to adopt innovation (Peterson et al, 2007; Rogers, 2003; Backer et al, 1986). This could potentially explain the low application of NGx in public health organisations (Collins et al, 2013; Whelan et al, 2008) where strategic decisions regarding practice would be centrally managed.Whereas innovation can diffuse 'bottom-up' from champions at the practice end (Peterson et al, 2007), top-down leadership can be negatively associated with adoption of new technologies (Backer et al, 1986). This suggests that for NGx to become mainstream new models for innovation management may need to be considered.…”

Perceptions and experiences of early-adopting registered dietitians in integrating nutrigenomics into practice

Design/Method/Approach -Registered Dietitians (RD´s) (N=14) were recruited from the UK, Canada, South-Africa, Australia, Mexico and Israel. Six qualitative interviews and two focus groups were conducted online using a conference calling platform. Data were recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed.Findings -Early adopters of Nutrigenomics (NGx) were experienced, self-efficacious RD's who actively sought knowledge of NGx through communication with one another and the broader scientific community. They considered NGx an extension of current practice and believed RD's had the skills to deliver it. Perceived barriers to widening the application of NGx were linked to skepticism among the wider dietetics community.Proliferation of unregulated websites offering tests and diets was considered 'pseudoscience' and detrimental to dietetics fully embracing NGx. Lack of a sustainable public health model for the delivery of NGx was also perceived to hinder progress.Results are discussed with reference to 'diffusion of innovation theory'.Originality/Value -The views of RD's who practice NGx have not been previously studied. These data highlight requirements for future dietetic training provision and more inclusive service delivery models. Regulation of NGx services and formal recognition by professional bodies is needed to address the research/practice translation gap. Further research is required to enquire as to the views of the wider dietetics profession. Paper Type Research article. IntroductionNutritional genomics (NGx) is an emerging field focused on interactions between food, nutrition and genes (Ferguson et al., 2016). Increased understanding of gene-nutrient interactions may facilitate health and disease prevention (Casas et al., 2016; Corella et al., 2016;Celis-Morales et al., 2016). A growing market offers genetic tests "direct-toconsumer" as well as via healthcare professionals. The Food4me project has illustrated how personalized nutrition can be delivered online to the public (Celis-Morales et al., 2016). Tests can deliver information linking diet to health, lifestyle, weight or improved fitness (Covolo et al., 2015; Bloss et al., 2011). Omics technologies (metabolomics, lipidomics and transcriptomics) enable highly personalized and targeted approaches to dietary health promotion (Sun and Hu, 2016) which have already been shown effective for outcomes related to cardiovascular disease (Fitó et al., 2016). Consumer interest is high and demand for trained practitioners expected to increase (Berezowska et al., 2015). Registered Dietitians (RD´s) will be key professionals for translating the science of nutrigenomics into practice (Berezowska et al., 2015; Abrahams et al., 2017;Stewart-Knox et al., 2016; Fallaize et al., 2015;Stewart-Knox et al., 2013). TheAcademy of Nutrition and Dietetics (A.N.D), however, do not consider the field ready for routine practice (Camp and Trujillo, 2014), so that application of nutritional genomics has tended to be low amongst the dietetics profession (Collins et al., 2013; W...
