This study focused only on facilitators of and barriers to implementation experienced by key stakeholders in the health care, schools, and early care and education sectors. Data on community recreation departments are not included, because intervention activities were being conceptualized during intervention year one; data on restaurants and on factors affecting family engagement with CA-CORD are described elsewhere (28,29).
To be eligible for CA-CORD, school-aged children needed to attend one of these schools.
Early care and education intervention activities were conducted in 2 temporally distinct waves; this study includes only the 13 early care and education centers that participated in intervention year-one CA-CORD activities.
