This paper aimed to use the Delphi technique to develop a consensus framework for a multinational, workplace walking intervention.
Ideas were gathered and ranked from eight recognized and emerging experts in the fields of physical activity and health, from universities in Australia, Canada, England, The Netherlands, Northern Ireland, and Spain. Members of the panel were asked to consider the key characteristics of a successful campus walking intervention. Consensus was reached by an inductive, content analytic approach, conducted through an anonymous, three-round, e-mail process.
The resulting framework consisted of three interlinking themes defined as "design, implementation, and evaluation." Top-ranked subitems in these themes included the need to generate research capacity (design), to respond to group needs through different walking approaches (implementation), and to undertake physical activity assessment (evaluation). Themes were set within an underpinning domain, referred to as the "institution" and sites are currently engaging with subitems in this domain, to provide sustainable interventions that reflect the practicalities of local contexts and needs.
Findings provide a unique framework for designing, implementing, and evaluating walking projects in universities and highlight the value of adopting the Delphi technique for planning international, multisite health initiatives.
本文旨在运用德尔菲法，为一项跨国工作场所步行干预制定一个共识框架。
从澳大利亚、加拿大、英国、荷兰、北爱尔兰和西班牙的大学中，邀请了八位体育活动与健康领域公认的及后起的专家，收集并排列他们的想法。要求专家小组的成员考虑成功的校园步行干预的关键特征。通过归纳性内容分析法达成共识，该方法通过匿名的三轮电子邮件过程进行。
最终形成的框架由三个相互关联的主题组成，分别定义为“设计、实施和评估”。这些主题中排名靠前的子项目包括培养研究能力的必要性（设计）、通过不同步行方式满足群体需求（实施）以及进行体育活动评估（评估）。主题设定在一个基础领域内，该领域称为“机构”，目前各场所正在参与该领域的子项目，以提供反映当地实际情况和需求的可持续干预措施。
研究结果为大学中步行项目的设计、实施和评估提供了一个独特的框架，并突出了采用德尔菲法规划国际多场所健康倡议的价值。
