Successful dissemination of Fun 5 — a physical activity and nutrition program for children
Open accessAbstract
Examine the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) of an evidence-based physical activity and nutrition curriculum disseminated to after-school programs. Program components included nutrition, physical activity, and sustainability, adapted to after-school settings and disseminated across 4 years (2004-2008). The RE-AIM framework was used to evaluate dissemination quality through direct observations, surveys, and interviews. In the final year, the Fun 5 program was implemented in 90% (>22,000 students) of Hawai'i after-school sites. Despite substantial annual increases in program reach, implementation and adoption remained consistently effective, and students' physical activity levels during program activities peaked in the final year. Further, evaluations demonstrated strong long-term program sustainability potential. The Fun 5 program demonstrated promise for long-term maintenance with potential for a public health impact among Hawai`i after-school students. Future emphasis on wide-spread program dissemination is encouraged, bridging research and community efforts to improve our children's health and impact public health.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
