A randomised trial of an intervention to sustain schools’ implementation of a state-wide physical activity policy [ 3/1/2021 - 2/28/2026 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Sustaining effective health programmes in community-based settings is a considerable public health challenge. This study, the first RCT of its kind, will test the effectiveness of a sustainability strategy on the proportion of primary school classes that sustain implementation of a physical activity policy as mandated by the NSW Government. The trial could provide a model for supporting schools to sustain school health or education policies, which seek to improve wellbeing of students.
