Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative programs,...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy.

It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results from...

Area of Science:

  • Community Health
  • Public Health Interventions
  • Program Evaluation

Background:

  • The Physical Literacy for Communities (PL4C) project employs a participatory community mobilization strategy.
  • Multi-sectoral, community-led tables were established to develop and promote physical literacy initiatives.
  • A scale-up across Canada necessitated the design of an evaluation protocol for the PL4C intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design an evaluation protocol aligned with PL4C table processes and activities for intervention scale-up.
  • To understand the functioning of the existing PL4C intervention.
  • To explore the promotion of physical literacy within communities.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 members of two original community tables.
  • The study focused on understanding partnership operations, capacity building, and sustainability of multi-sectoral action.
  • Findings informed the design of a comprehensive evaluation protocol.

Main Results:

  • Three key themes emerged: collaboration, sustainability, and promoting physical literacy in diverse settings.
  • Participants highlighted the importance of evaluating partnership dynamics and capacity building.
  • Key areas for evaluation included sustainability of multi-sectoral action and program delivery effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • The study successfully designed an evaluation protocol for the PL4C intervention scale-up.
  • The protocol incorporates milestone tracking, stakeholder interviews, surveys, and direct physical literacy measures.
  • This evaluation framework will assess the effectiveness of PL4C interventions in exemplar communities.
