Generation Health Community Program Evaluation
Generation Health Community was an interactive family-based program offered across BC from 2018 until June 2025, promoting healthy living in families with children age 8-12.
The Generation Health Community Program focused on lifestyle behaviours including:
- healthy eating
- physical activity
- positive mental well-being
- reducing recreational screen time
- sleep hygiene
Generation Health Community Program Evaluation
The Generation Health Community early intervention program was developed using an evidence-based approach and underwent an iterative process and outcome evaluation performed by the University of Victoria Digital Health Lab research team. The purpose of this evaluation was to assess the reach and efficacy of the program, as well as to gain an understanding of the issues involved in implementing and sustaining program delivery across British Columbia.
Parents/guardians and children age 8-12 were asked to complete questionnaires before and after participating in the Generation Health Community Program. We reported group-level outcomes to the BC Ministry of Health. We also collected feedback from parents/guardians and from Generation Health Community program facilitators.
