Effectiveness of the Go4Fun program: a comparison of face-to-face and digital delivery
Our evaluation demonstrated that both face-to-face and digital program delivery helped children above a healthy weight to improve their weight and health behaviour outcomes. Go4Fun Online achieved significantly greater improvements in outcomes, which is encouraging for the future of digital interventions. Participation in Standard Go4Fun by more children with obesity from disadvantaged areas and non-English speaking backgrounds suggests that ongoing delivery of both modes of Go4Fun could facilitate program reach among all children above a healthy weight.
