Improving physical activity and screen time in Australian Outside School Hours Care: Study protocol
Recent Australian research in Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) has identified significant inconsistency in practices related to physical activity and screen time, compounded by an absence of explicit policy guidance. The Activated OSHC program is a policy-based intervention that supports OSHC services to implement the Australian OSHC physical activity and screen time guidelines. This study will assess the implementation and effectiveness of the Activated OSHC program in an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 2 trial design. Implementation of outside school hours care sector physical activity and screen time guidelines may improve children's physical activity and screen time behaviours.
