“…According to the literature [21, 33, 37, 39, 55, 56] and to enhance the exploitation of findings for decision making directing future strategic plans, the mean ratings of the modifiability (x-axis) and population-level effect (y-axis) for the youth, adult, and older adult populations were used to plot the position of each factor relative to all other factors. The resulting scatterplots identified four quadrants (e.g., I, II, III, and IV) of “Go-Zones”, reporting factors deemed relevant for their population-level effect but considered to have a low modifiability (Quadrant I), factors that have been attributed low ratings for both modifiability and population-level effect (Quadrant II), factors deemed relevant for their modifiability but considered to have a low population-level effect (Quadrant III), and factors deemed to be most modifiable and having the highest population-level effect (Quadrant IV), respectively.…”

BackgroundA large proportion of European children, adults and older adults do not engage in sufficient physical activity (PA). Understanding individual and contextual factors associated with PA behaviours is essential for the identification and implementation of effective preventative environments, policies, and programmes that can promote an active lifestyle across life course and can potentially improve health. The current paper intends to provide 1) a multi-disciplinary, Pan-European and life course view of key determinants of PA behaviours and 2) a proposal of how these factors may cluster.MethodsAfter gathering a list of 183 potential PA behaviours-associated factors and a consensus meeting to unify/consolidate terminology, a concept mapping software was used to collate European experts’ views of 106 identified factors for youth (<19 years), adults (19–64 years), and older adults (≥65 years). The analysis evaluated common trends in the clustering of factors and the ratings of the distinct factors’ expected modifiability and population-level impact on PA behaviours across the life course. Priority for research was also assessed for each cluster.ResultsThe concept mapping resulted in six distinct clusters, broadly merged in two themes: 1) the ‘Person’, which included clusters ‘Intra-Personal Context and Wellbeing’ and ‘Family and Social Economic Status’ (42 % of all factors) and 2) the ‘Society’, which included the remaining four clusters ‘Policy and Provision’, ‘Cultural Context and Media’, ‘Social Support and Modelling’, and ‘Supportive Environment’ (58 % of all factors). Overall, 25 factors were rated as the most impactful on PA behaviours across the life course and being the most modifiable. They were mostly situated in the ‘Intra-Personal Context and Wellbeing’ cluster. Furthermore, 16 of them were rated as top priority for research.ConclusionsThe current framework provides a preliminary overview of factors which may account for PA behaviour across the life course and are most relevant to the European community. These insights could potentially be a foundation for future Pan-European research on how these factors might interact with each other, and assist policy makers to identify appropriate interventions to maximize PA behaviours and thus the health of European citizens.

“…The cluster analysis presents how the statements are grouped or ‘clustered’ together based on the average sorting by the participants. The research team determined the final cluster number keeping in mind parsimony, the theoretical meaning of each cluster, and interpretability (Kane & Trochim, 2007; Lebel et al, 2011). To identify the label for each cluster, the research team reviewed the statements within each cluster while independently; two volunteer study participants developed a label for each cluster that represented its main theme.…”

Using a community-engaged participatory research approach, this study identified surrounding community residents’ expectations for how a HOPE VI housing initiative might affect their community and individual health and physical activity. Fifty-nine women and men engaged in concept mapping, which is a mixed methods approach, where participants generate, sort, and rate ideas. Participants generated 197 unique statements. Thirteen thematic clusters related to expected changes for the community, health and physical activity emerged. Residents’ rated ‘Increased Pride in the Neighborhood’ and ‘Increased Safety’ as the most important factors related to HOPE VI whereas ‘Drawbacks of HOPE VI’ was rated as least important. This research provides insight into the potential impacts of housing initiatives from the perspective of those most affected by such initiatives. The findings also highlight environmental changes as potential mechanisms that may improve residents’ perceptions of the community and encourage healthy lifestyles.

“…Concept maps have also been used to develop eLearning materials (Martínez‐Torres, Toral, & Barrero, ), workplace health interventions (Reavley et al., ), and support programs for diverse sexual minority youth (Davis, Saltzburg, & Locke, ). The method has been used with health care and education staff to identify key influences on diet and the physical activity of local residents (Lebel et al., ), provide guidance for therapy in post‐secondary institutions (Kadambi, Audet, & Knish, ), and assess adult learners in undergraduate professional education courses (Hay, Tan, & Whaites, ). Other groups that have participated in concept mapping include post‐secondary students (Phinney & Smith, ), medical patients (Nalavany, Carawan, & Rennick, ), as well as professionals (Lim, ), and seniors (Conrad et al., ).…”

Emotional needs of Aboriginal foster parents Aboriginal children are overrepresented in care. Aboriginal foster parents are underrepresented.There is a need to recruit and retain Aboriginal foster parents. In the study, Aboriginal foster parents were asked: "What do you need emotionally to be a good foster parent?" The results were analyzed using multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis, leading to eight concepts, including: awareness, contentment, self-assurance, appreciation, resolve, space, caring, and commitment to one's values. These results were compared with the existing foster parent literature. Similarities and differences were described.
