Study Summary

This trial will study how well a community health intervention works to increase youth physical activity.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for rural communities with a single high school, including schools, after-school programs, youth clubs like scouting/4-H, and sports organizations. It focuses on settings and children in grades 3-6 as well as their leaders. Communities must be located in rural micropolitan areas.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a 'Wellness Landscape Intervention' against standard public health practices to see how they affect community changes and increase physical activity among young people. Communities are randomly chosen to start the intervention at different times.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves community interventions to promote physical activity rather than medical treatments or drugs, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, increased physical activity may lead to muscle soreness or injuries if not properly supervised.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Wellscapes InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The wellness landscape intervention (Wellscapes) will establish a multi-level system infrastructure (Community Hub, Organization Wellness Teams, Activity Setting/Leaders) and provide training and support for population health quality improvement cycle processes targeting two evidence-based practices (EBPs): (1) stacking time segments of PA episodes within an organization's daily routine, and (2) improving the quality of PA episodes (% time in PA).

Group II: Standard PracticeActive Control1 Intervention

The standard collective impact public health practice intervention will establish a multi-level system infrastructure and provide training on community development.
