Overview of applying the RE-AIM framework in evaluating and adapting the Active Plus project.
| RE-AIM dimension | Definition | Adaptation for the Active Plus project |
| Reach | Number and representativeness of individuals willing to participate | Extending the delivery mode to a Web-based version |
| Providing additional information to reach both low- and high-socioeconomic status groups | ||
| Providing additional information to reach participants with physical disabilities | ||
| Effectiveness | Impact of the intervention on target outcomes | Translating the print-delivered interventions into Web-based interventions |
| Adding information to increase intervention effects in the subgroups that were less affected by the original intervention (persons with a normal body mass index and persons aged over 65 years) | ||
| Improving intervention strategies | ||
| Stimulating self-efficacy and strategic planning | ||
| Stimulating intrinsic motivation | ||
| Reinforcing and extending environmental information | ||
| Adoption | Proportion and representativeness of settings that adopt the intervention | Translating the print-delivered interventions into Web-based interventions. Response rates to the print-delivered interventions are higher than response rates to the Web-based interventionsa |
| Implementation | Extent to which the interventions are delivered as intended | a |
| Maintenance | Extent to which individual participants maintain behavior change long term and the extent to which the intervention is sustained over time within the organizations that deliver the intervention | Improvements made to the original interventions are expected to further increase the effects on physical activity behaviora |
a Further research is beyond the scope of the current study.
