Individuals with intellectual disabilities are a known health disparities group. The Team Wellness (TW) health promotion program was developed to provide healthy lifestyle information to target this population. The purpose of this study was to conduct a qualitative program evaluation on Team Wellness.
Interviews were conducted via one-on-one format with program coaches (n = 4, mean age = 25, female = 2, male = 2) and focus group with program athletes (n = 6, mean age = 45, female = 4, male = 2) who completed the TW program.
Themes that emerged included: (1) Program Perceptions; (2) TW Support; and (3) Program Feedback. Program perceptions were positive and continued athlete participation was anticipated. Coaches felt prepared to facilitate based on previous experience though program fidelity varied.
Study participants enjoyed TW and identified valuable recommendations. Program fidelity and marketing efforts are important for future consideration. Further quantitative assessment is needed to determine the effectiveness the program.
智障人士是一个已知的健康差异群体。团队健康（TW）促进计划旨在为目标人群提供健康的生活方式信息。本研究的目的是对团队健康进行定性计划评估。
通过一对一的方式对计划教练（n = 4，平均年龄 = 25，女性 = 2，男性 = 2）和完成 TW 计划的计划运动员（n = 6，平均年龄 = 45，女性 = 4，男性 = 2）进行访谈。
出现的主题包括：（1）计划认知；（2）TW 支持；（3）计划反馈。计划认知是积极的，预计运动员会继续参与。教练们觉得他们有能力根据以往的经验进行促进，尽管计划的保真度有所不同。
研究参与者喜欢 TW 并提出了有价值的建议。计划的保真度和营销工作是未来需要考虑的重要因素。需要进一步进行定量评估以确定该计划的有效性。
