Understanding the process of translating evidence-based interventions into longterm<br />
community practice and the impact that this process has on the population is<br />
paramount to the future development of health promoting initiatives.<br />
PurPOsE: The aim of this study was to examine this impact by using the RE-<br />
AIM evaluation on the ManUp Project, a physical activity (PA) and healthy eating<br />
intervention for middle-aged males.<br />
METhOds: Data were collected for each RE-AIM measure using a computer<br />
assisted telephone interview survey (N=312), interviews with key individuals from<br />
local organisations (N=12), and examination of project related statistics and findings.<br />
Reach was assessed by level of individual awareness of ManUp and the number of<br />
organisations that requested ManUp information/resources (N=108). Efficacy was<br />
assessed by changes in PA and nutrition behaviours. Adoption was assessed by number<br />
of individuals who registered for the program (and their recall of the program).<br />
Implementation was assessed by number of organisations that implemented the<br />
program in their workplace. Maintenance was assessed by website usage patterns<br />
and number of organisations that made ManUp part of their general workplace health<br />
initiative<br />
rEsuLTs: In terms of Reach, the overall level of awareness was 46.5%, and all<br />
organisations requested subsequent ManUp information/resources; Efficacy, the<br />
intervention was successful in increasing the weekly mins (p
