Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study will help answer the following research questions
1. Are community organizations able and willing to deliver a health-promotion campaign targeting young children?
2. What impact does the Take TIME campaign have on the readiness of the community to support healthy childhoods?
3. What impact does the Take TIME campaign have on awareness and achievement of healthier lifestyles for young children?
4. Can health promotion initiatives be "institutionalized" within the Municipality and community organizations so that the campaign will continue beyond the study period?
5. Are changes in awareness and/or behaviour related to exposure to the Take TIME campaign?
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The impact of the Take TIME campaign will be evaluated in two ways. The overall readiness of the community to support healthy childhoods will be evaluated using the Community Readiness Model, which relies on a series of interviews with key individuals in leadership positions. Awareness and current behaviour among community members will be assessed through the completion of telephone surveys of randomly selected households. Each of these evaluations will be completed twice, before and after delivery of the Take TIME campaign. The pre-campaign evaluations will be completed in September 2010. The post-campaign evaluations, using the same procedures, will be completed in June 2011.

Take TIME Health Campaign
1. Provision of free, family-based events, at least twice per month, that offer opportunities for physical activity and/or healthy eating in a safe, tobacco-free environment.
