Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will evaluate the impact of a whole-of-community multi-level adaptive systems intervention on implementation of community change and youth population physical activity. Building on local health department partnerships, the investigators will conduct a two-wave staggered-start community randomized trial with four volunteer rural communities (each having nested school, after-school, scouting/4-H club, youth sport organizations) randomly assigned to intervention or standard public health practice.
