摘要:Young people living in out-of-home care (OoHC) are widely considered
to be one of the most vulnerable groups in the community. This article
describes the evaluation and implementation study protocol of a
healthy lifestyle programme developed to improve the eating and
physical activity habits of young people living in residential OoHC.
The study will employ a longitudinal multi-group pre-post process
evaluation to assess our implementation strategy in the dissemination
of HEALing Matters at the: 1) system-level; 2) organizational-level; 3)
residential home-level; and 4) individual-level (N = approximately 60
residential homes [approximately 400–500 staff and 240 young people]).
Implementation- and program-related outcomes will be assessed
using self-report surveys, semi-structured interviews and focus groups,
house audits and website usage data collected prior, during and after
implementation. Results are expected to inform and help guide the
further development and training of residential care staff’s understanding
and application of health literacy.
