Reverse translating parkrun’s scale-up success: Lessons for public health
Introduction: The scale-up evaluation field has been limited by a conceptualisation of success dominated by quantitative spread and restriction to purposively and centrally disseminated initiatives. Empirical research shows, however, that working definitions of scale-up success are far more varied, nuanced, and context-dependent. Moreover, excluding examination of organically scaling initiatives has narrowed what may be learnt about sustainable d…
We Want parkrun to Well Outlive Us: Behind the Dissemination and Sustainability of parkrun in Australia
parkrun is a free, weekly organized mass participation physical activity event providing a remarkable example of at-scale dissemination, with over 1 million participants and 150,000 volunteers in Australia. This qualitative study draws on stakeholders' experiences to explore how parkrun succeeded with its dissemination and sustainability in Australia. Maximum variation and snowball sampling methods were used to select interviewees representing th…
Coming back for more: Individual participation patterns in the physical activity initiative parkrun in Australia
Most physical activity (PA) maintenance research has concerned adherence to small-scale interventions or infrequent observation in cohort studies. We analysed individual attendance trajectories and their drivers in a large-scale ‘real-world’ community-based weekly PA event (parkrun) cohort in Australia. Data were weekly attendance (walking/running) of 223 224 unique parkrun participants over their first 3 years of participation. An unweighted mov…
Sixteen-year trends in multiple lifestyle risk behaviours by socioeconomic status from 2004 to 2019 in New South Wales, Australia
Few studies have examined trends in inequalities related to lifestyle risk behaviours. This study examined 1) 16-year (2004–2019) trends of individual lifestyle risk factors and a combined lifestyle risk index and 2) trends in socioeconomic inequalities in these risk factors, in New South Wales (NSW; Australia) adults. Data was sourced from the NSW Adult Population Health Survey, an annual telephone survey of NSW residents aged ≥16 years, totalli…
Towards healthier food choices for hospital staff and visitors: Impacts of a healthy food and drink policy implemented at scale in Australia
Objective: To determine the impact of a healthy food and drink policy on hospital staff and visitors’ food purchasing behaviours, and their awareness and support for the changes introduced. Design: Two repeated cross-sectional surveys, consisting of intercept interviews and observations of food items purchased, were conducted before (March–July 2018) and after (April–June 2019) the target date for implementation of thirteen food and drink practic…
Are outdoor gyms located in areas of greatest need and impact? An audit in Sydney, Australia
Outdoor gyms are increasingly available and have the potential to revitalize public parks and provide equitable access to physical activity opportunities. A comprehensive online search was conducted for outdoor gyms in Greater Sydney including: number, location, equipment type, installation/upgrade year, funding, consultation and promotional strategies. Proportions of outdoor gyms in suburbs identified as having greater need or impact were calcul…
