Brief Summary

Healthy Together is a program that promotes the achievement and maintenance of healthy weights in children and their families.

Detailed Description

The purpose of the Phase 3 scale up project is to expand the reach and impact of Healthy Together (HT), by supporting the integration of the HT program into core services of organizations serving children (up to 18 years) and families, particularly those from under-served populations across diverse communities and settings in Canada. The HT program offers a flexible, effective, integrated approach, relevant to multiple contexts, creating potential to become a sustainable approach to promoting healthier weights in Canadian children. The objectives of the evaluation for Phase 3 are to:

1. Describe the effectiveness of the HT program in relation to knowledge, attitude and behavior change at the individual, family, and community level.

2. Monitor quality and sustainability of HT, when offered as part of core service by organizations to meet diverse community needs and cultural contexts.

3. Create an effective knowledge mobilization framework to increase practice and policy influence of HT, in collaboration with regional, provincial and national networks.
