Stakeholder co-production in design of public health programmes may reduce the 'implementation gap' but can be time-consuming and costly. Prototyping, iterative refining relevant to delivery context, offers a potential solution. This evaluation explored implementation and lessons learnt for a 12-week referral-based weight-management programme, 'Momenta', along with feasibility of an iterative prototyping evaluation framework.
Mixed methods evaluation: Qualitative implementation exploration with referrers and service users; preliminary analysis of anonymised quantitative service data (12 and 52 weeks).
Two leisure centres in Northumberland, North East England.
Individual interviews with referring professionals (n=5) and focus groups with service users (n=13). Individuals (n=182) referred by healthcare professionals (quantitative data).
Three 12-week programme iterations: Momenta (n=59), Momenta-Fitness membership (n=58) and Fitness membership only (n=65).
Primary outcome: Qualitative themes developed through stakeholder-engagement. Secondary outcomes included preliminary exploration of recruitment, uptake, retention, and changes in weight, body mass index, waist circumference and psychological well-being.
Service users reported positive experiences of Momenta. Implementation gaps were revealed around the referral process and practitioner knowledge. Prototyping enabled iterative refinements such as broadening inclusion criteria. Uptake and 12-week retention were higher for Momenta (84.7%, 45.8%) and Momenta-Fitness (93.1%, 60.3%) versus Fitness only (75.4%, 24.6%). Exploration of other preliminary outcomes (completers only) suggested potential for within-group weight loss and increased psychological well-being for Momenta and Momenta-Fitness at 12 weeks. 52 week follow-up data were limited (32%, 33% and 6% retention for those who started Momenta, Momenta-Fitness and Fitness, respectively) but suggested potential weight loss maintenance for Momenta-Fitness.
Identification of issues within the referral process enabled real-time iterative refinement, while lessons learnt may be of value for local implementation of 'off-the-shelf' weight management packages more generally. Our preliminary data for completers suggest Momenta may have potential for weight loss, particularly when offered with a fitness membership.
在公共卫生项目设计中进行利益相关者共同生产可能会减少“实施差距”,但可能耗时且成本高昂。与交付背景相关的迭代式原型设计提供了一种潜在的解决方案。本评估探讨了一项为期12周的基于转诊的体重管理项目“Momenta”的实施情况和经验教训,以及迭代式原型评估框架的可行性。
混合方法评估:对转诊者和服务使用者进行定性实施探索;对匿名定量服务数据(12周和52周)进行初步分析。
英格兰东北部诺森伯兰郡的两个休闲中心。
对转诊专业人员进行个人访谈(n = 5),对服务使用者进行焦点小组访谈(n = 13)。由医疗保健专业人员转诊的个体(n = 182)(定量数据)。
三个为期12周的项目迭代:Momenta(n = 59)、Momenta - 健身会员(n = 58)和仅健身会员(n = 65)。
主要结局:通过利益相关者参与形成的定性主题。次要结局包括对招募、参与、留存以及体重、体重指数、腰围和心理健康变化的初步探索。
服务使用者报告了对Momenta的积极体验。在转诊过程和从业者知识方面发现了实施差距。原型设计实现了诸如拓宽纳入标准等迭代式改进。Momenta(84.7%,45.8%)和Momenta - 健身会员(93.1%,60.3%)的参与率和12周留存率高于仅健身会员(75.4%,24.6%)。对其他初步结局(仅针对完成者)的探索表明,Momenta和Momenta - 健身会员在12周时有组内体重减轻和心理健康改善的潜力。52周的随访数据有限(开始Momenta、Momenta - 健身会员和仅健身会员项目的参与者留存率分别为32%、33%和6%),但表明Momenta - 健身会员有维持体重减轻效果的潜力。
识别转诊过程中的问题实现了实时迭代改进,而吸取的经验教训可能对更广泛地在当地实施“现成的”体重管理方案具有价值。我们针对完成者的初步数据表明,Momenta可能有减肥潜力,特别是在提供健身会员资格时。
