Place Activation in Urban Peripheries: the 'Comunidades y Espacios Activos" Project (CEA)
Sponsor: University of Texas at Austin
Summary
This study will use a Hybrid III Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial to test an 'active dissemination and implementation' intervention in peripheral urban neighborhoods, designed to accelerate the uptake of evidence-based place-based activations that are known to be effective in increasing physical activity among local residents. The study will use a parallel design with eligible neighborhoods randomized to one of two arms: the (1) "Active Dissemination and Implementation" intervention arm (n=15 neighborhoods); and (2) the comparison arm (n=15 neighborhoods). Participants will be "implementation partners" in each of the participating neighborhoods (n=510 total participants, n=17 per neighborhood), comprised of a mix of local government representatives, representatives of non-governmental organizations working in the area, and community leaders. Intervention components to be delivered to implementation partners of neighborhoods randomized to the "Active Dissemination and Implementation" Intervention Arm include participation in 2 workshops, facilitation of coalition building activities, newsletters, targeted messaging, and access to a knowledge broker, and implementation support for 1 year (12 months).

Interventions
Active Dissemination and Implementation
This intervention is designed to accelerate the uptake of evidence-based interventions that help maximize the impact of the addition or renovation of public open spaces on their utilization for active recreation among community members, ultimately effective physical activity levels in communities. The intervention targets implementation partners: local stakeholders/decision makers and community leaders, to increase their awareness of these evidence-based approaches for place-activation, and their willingness to adopt and implement them in their neighborhood settings. Intervention components include capacity building workshops, newsletters, targeted messaging and access to a knowledge broker and implementation support for 1-year.
Passive Dissemination
Delivery of booklet with menu of evidence-based interventions for place-activation; and of pamphlet summarizing importance of healthy lifestyle promotion.
