From: Barriers and facilitators to adoption, implementation and sustainment of obesity prevention interventions in schoolchildren– a DEDIPAC case study

(RE)AIM Parameters (Bold)

Adoption

 Collaboration and Communication

“maybe if we had like a sit down every quarter or whatever and just talk through the issues” [GSTO].

Implementation

 Training

…“they (boys) had to have their cycle training, they had to disclose it to myself, they had to do their bike maintenance, they had to wear a helmet and they had to have permission from their parents …their cycling numbers went up significantly” [Green Schools Coordinator (Teacher)].

Maintenance/Sustainability

 Cost reduction, other

“…it proved much easier to sustain a budget, a net budget of XXX.” [Government Department A, Civil Servant]

 

…“from the publication of the focused policy assessment there was a question whether we should just close the programme…but I think the view from the Department would be that it is a good programme” [Government Department B, Civil Servant].
