Description

The purpose of the paper is to present the research protocol, conceptual foundation and first findings on the effects of the SoL intervention. The intervention is being implemented in the three neighborhoods of Allinge, Hasle and Nexø through an integrated approach where promotion of health eating and non-sedentary behavior is coordinated across supermarket, media, school & kindergarten setting. SoL is building conceptually on a partnership between representatives from civil society, community-based associations, businesses and the public administration. The primary target group is families with children aged 3-8 years-old. A broad range of outcome measures are measured baseline and follow up. For this paper the effect of the mass media intervention components measured through telephone interviews conducted with 70 randomly selected people in case and control is reported. The discussion cover perspectives and limitations in engaging citizens, media, front workers and politicians in participatory approaches as well on using a combined action and intervention research approach.
