Co-designing a physical activity intervention for low-income mothers of preschool-aged children with community leaders: a qualitative study

Community experts and the research team used the PRACTIS guide to co-design strategies to increase physical activity and school readiness that they perceived would enhance the likelihood of implementation and sustainability in the community. Participants underscored the importance of the co-design process that centers community representation and collaborative approaches to create, implement, and sustain programs in the local community. Researchers and community leaders serving low-income mothers and children in other settings may be able to replicate the action planning process to facilitate equitable health outcomes.
