“…These researchers found 56 studies reporting statistically significant outcome measures and 17 with interventions that improved physical activity levels. 10 Like O’Donnell, I spent most of my health promotion practitioner career in a large medical center and became fully appreciative of how demanding caring for the sick is for clinicians. Of special interest to me in this literature review was that the majority of the randomized controlled trials in the review, 43 of the qualifying studies, were delivered by physicians and nurses in primary care settings.…”

Each year the editorial team of the American Journal of Health Promotion selects our “Best of the Year List” of health promotion studies from the prior year. This editorial features the Editor’s Picks Awards, the Editor in Chief Award, the Michael P. O’Donnell Award and the Dorothy Nyswander Award for the best research and writing published in 2022 in this journal. Our criteria for selection includes: whether the study addresses a topic of timely importance in health promotion, the research question is clearly stated and the study methods used are well executed; whether the paper is often cited and downloaded; if the study findings offer a unique contribution to the literature; and if the paper is well-written and enjoyable to read. Awardees in 2022 offered new insights into combatting disinformation, understanding vaccine hesitancy, and depicting the influences of health systems, neighborhoods and workplaces on stress, self-efficacy and health outcomes. This “best of 2022 list” of studies spans from character to culture as researchers sought to explain what amplifies or hampers well-being.

Physical activity (PA) effectively prevents and treats non-communicable diseases in clinical settings. PA promotion needs to be more consistent, especially in busy primary care. Sports scientists have the potential to support PA promotion in primary care. The Physical Activity with Sports Scientist (PASS) programme is created to personalise PA promotion led by a sports scientist in a primary care clinic. A pragmatic randomised controlled trial with two parallel groups will be conducted at a family medicine clinic. Physically inactive participants aged 35–70 years who have type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension or dyslipidaemia will be invited. The control group (n=60) will receive usual care. The intervention group (n=60) will receive the PASS programme and usual care. The PASS programme will consist of a tailored PA prescription after the physician’s consultation at the first visit and monthly phone follow-ups. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants who have achieved the PA goal defined as aerobic activity (≥150 min/week of moderate to vigorous-intensity PA), muscle-strengthening activity (≥2 days/week of moderate or greater intensity) and multicomponent PA (≥2 days/week of moderate or greater intensity). Secondary outcomes are body composition and physical fitness. The primary and secondary outcomes will be measured and compared between the control and intervention groups at visit 1 (month 0: baseline measurements), visit 2 (months 3–4: follow-up measurements), visit 3 (months 6–8: end-point measurements) and visit 4 (months 9–12: continuing measurements). The study protocol was registered with the Thai Clinical Trials Registry.Trial registration number: TCTR20240314001.

“…11 Primary care is deemed an optimal setting for promoting PA because primary care physicians (PCPs) are consulted yearly by over 75% of the population, 12,13 they can provide their patients counseling tailored to their health conditions, and they are seen as reliable sources of health information. 14,15 Reviews [16][17][18] provide summaries of the evidence indicating that encouraging PA in primary care settings can foster the adoption of PA in individuals with and without a health condition, at least in the short and medium term.…”

Objective: This study aimed to assess the changes in the frequency of physical activity (PA) counseling and in the predictors of primary care PA promotion in Québec primary care physicians (PCPs) between 2010 and 2020. Methods: In 2010, we conducted a survey among Québec PCPs. Questions included: frequency of promoting PA to patients, perceived barriers, needs to improve PA promotion practice, frequency of PCPs’ PA practice, and sociodemographic information. In 2020, we took over the 2010 questionnaire to document the evolution of the PA promotion practice. Results: The proportion of PCPs discussing PA with their patients significantly increased (P < .05) in 2020 for the following health conditions: depression, low back pain, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer; it declined (P < .05) for overweight patients, those with metabolic syndrome, and in primary prevention. Collaboration with PA professionals was the major need identified, and it increased in 2020. PCPs’ own practice of PA was a predictor of PA promotion in 2010 (odds ratio = 6.679; P < .001) and in 2020 (odds ratio = 6.679; P < .001). In both 2010 and in 2020, older or more experienced PCPs were more likely to discuss PA with their patients without diagnosed diseases than younger ones or those with less experience. Conclusions: Over the last 10 years, there has been a significant increase in PCPs promoting PA in Québec; however, it has been mainly oriented toward secondary prevention. It is concerning that PA counseling in primary prevention has declined, notably among younger PCPs. The stronger claim for closer collaboration with kinesiologists suggests that PCPs are in favor of an interprofessional strategy, namely collaboration with PA specialists.
