“…The RE-AIM framework has been applied to a Tai Chi program for elderly falls prevention,14 lifestyle interventions targeting cardiovascular disease risk factors,15 exercise programmes for people with arthritis16 and community-based behavioural interventions 17. In the sporting context, such a framework could be applied to injury prevention initiatives directed at individual sports participants, such as individual behaviour change (eg taping ankles or wearing protective equipment).…”

A sports setting matrix for understanding the implementation context for community sport

There has been increasing recognition of the need for effectiveness research within the real-world intervention context of community sport. This is important because, even if interventions have been shown to be efficacious in controlled trials, if they are not also widely adopted and sustained, then it is unlikely that they will have a public health impact. There is very little information about how to best conduct such studies, but application of health promotion frameworks, such as the RE-AIM framework, to evaluate the public health impact of interventions could potentially help to understand the implementation context. Care needs to be taken when directly applying the RE-AIM framework, however, because the definitions for each of its dimensions will depend on the level/s the intervention is targeted at. This paper provides a novel extension to the RE-AIM framework (the RE-AIM Sports Setting Matrix (RE-AIM SSM)), which accounts for the fact that many sports injury interventions need to be targeted at multiple levels of sports delivery. Accordingly, the RE-AIM components also need to be measured across all tiers of possible influence on the rate of uptake and effectiveness. Specific examples are given for coachdelivered exercise training interventions. The RE-AIM SSM is specific to the community sports setting implementation context and could be used to guide the delivery of future sports safety, and other health promotion, interventions in this area.

“…The first study used a mixed-method approach that compared high-and low-performing sites to identify best practices for WISEWOMAN programs (14). High performers were more likely to ensure that appropriate behavior change theory was understood and applied by staff in lifestyle interventions and to train local staff on how to use behavior change theories for their clients and to reinforce their own behavior (15). The second study used WISEWOMAN and NBCCEDP data to compare two highperformance sites with two low-performance sites on all five RE-AIM dimensions.…”

“…The lifestyle change interventions are locally tailored and vary in intensity and have been evaluated in several studies, including randomized controlled trials, quasi-experiments, case studies, and mixed-method evaluations (14,15,30,54,61,64,92,102,110). The data clearly show that lifestyle interventions delivered in WISEWOMAN are feasible and acceptable for reaching socially and medically vulnerable women (46, 118).…”

Increasing evidence suggests that public health and health-promotion interventions that are based on social and behavioral science theories are more effective than those lacking a theoretical base. This article provides an overview of the state of the science of theory use for designing and conducting health-promotion interventions. Influential contemporary perspectives stress the multiple determinants and multiple levels of determinants of health and health behavior. We describe key types of theory and selected often-used theories and their key concepts, including the health belief model, the transtheoretical model, social cognitive theory, and the ecological model. This summary is followed by a review of the evidence about patterns and effects of theory use in health behavior intervention research. Examples of applied theories in three large public health programs illustrate the feasibility, utility, and challenges of using theory-based interventions. This review concludes by identifying cross-cutting themes and important future directions for bridging the divides between theory, practice, and research.

“…Therefore, this project's design and analysis plan is based on the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance (RE-AIM) health promotion framework and its domains of reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance 7 8. This framework has previously been used with individually targeted behaviour change through exercise programmes for elderly falls prevention9 and people with arthritis,10 lifestyle interventions targeting cardiovascular disease risk factors11 and other community-based behavioural interventions 12. More recently, the RE-AIM framework has been extended to meet the needs of interventions in community sport settings,13 forming the basis of this project.…”

The primary outcome will be evidence-based prevention guidelines that are fully supported by a comprehensively evaluated dissemination plan. The plan will detail the support structures and add-ons necessary to ensure sustainability and subsequent national implementation. Research outcomes will include new knowledge about how sports safety policy is set, how consensus is reached among sports safety experts in the community setting and how evidence-based safety guidelines are best developed, packaged and disseminated to community sport.

Best Practices in Implementing Lifestyle Interventions in the WISEWOMAN Program: Adaptable Strategies for Public Health Programs

Abstract: Many of the best practices identified are applicable to broader audiences. Practitioners interested in strategies to recruit, engage, and retain participants and to facilitate behavior change can learn from these practices.
