A brief online survey was emailed to 218 partners (defined as a person who signed up as a partner on the Healthy Lifestyles Initiative website before January 31, 2016) representing 170 organizations. More than 1 partner could represent a single organization. All data were self-reported.
A materials index, scaled from 0 to 100, with 100 indicating greatest overall use, was developed from 3 variables (number of types of materials used, frequency of use, and extent of use) to measure overall use of materials.
An implementation activities index, scaled from 0 to 100, with 100 indicating greatest level of implementation, was developed from 2 variables (number of activities implemented and extent of implementation) to indicate overall level of implementation. A list of 8 implementation activities targeted by the Healthy Lifestyles Initiative was provided.
Estimated by using linear regression.
Survey respondents identified the implementation strategies in which they had engaged from a list of 5 options.
The number of strategies engaged in was summed for each respondent (range, 0–5).
