I’m tweaking my presentation for ACSM<\/a> relating to \u2018implementation\u2019 and I’m keen to share success stories – or ‘bright lights’ as the Heath Brothers call it.<\/p>\n

Which interventions have made kids move? Helped adults reach the guidelines?\u00a0 What about agitating the aged? (sorry!).\u00a0 Gortmaker’s Planet Health<\/a>, Sallis’ CATCH<\/a>, and van Mechelen’s various studies at work and in the community come to mind.

Please comment below or if you are shy, email me directly at karim.khan@ubc.ca.<\/p>\n

I am keen to distinguish between ‘efficacy’ (RCT etc.) and ‘effectiveness’<\/span> – in the real word.\u00a0 I seek evidence of action<\/span>, rather than words\/papers on a shelf.\u00a0 Thanks for thinking about it!\u00a0\u00a0 The email again? karim.khan@ubc.ca<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
