Annual Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Family-based Childhood Healthy Lifestyle Program

Living a healthy life is really important to keep kids from becoming overweight and having long-lasting health problems. Generation Health (GH), is a 10-week program for families in British Columbia. Families can join inperson or through the internet. It has shown some good results in getting kids to exercise more and eat better since it started in 2018. Every year, the program gets checked to make sure it’s still working well and to make it even better. Our team is going to look at how well GH works in the real world and how it’s being put into practice. We will ask kids and parents questions before and after the program to see if it’s helping them be more active, eat healthier, feel better, and have a better life. This will help us understand the effectiveness of the program.
