Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Adult survey: Changes in levels of mental health (MH), physical activity, healthy eating between baseline and follow up. MH is measured using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and positive psychology scale. Also questions on social networks and social capital are drawn from the UK Government Harmonised question set on social capital. Physical activity is measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Diet is measured using questions from the Health Survey for England on items consumed in the previous 24-hour period. Other questions on healthy quality of life and demographic and social characteristics are also collected. Child survey: Adolescent questionnaire measures emotional behavioural status using 2001 Child Behaviour checklist, self -esteem will be measured using Rosenberg self-esteem scale, the Child Health and Illness Profile - adolescent edition will be used to measure overall health status and the Child's Attitudes to Physical Activity Scale will assess attitudes to PA. Again the measures will be taken at baseline and follow-up in control and intervention areas. | — |
