The Faith, Activity, and Nutrition (FAN) Dissemination and Implementation Study, Phase 1: Implementation Monitoring Methods and Results.

ABSTRACT: Faith-based settings offer opportunities for reaching populations at risk for chronic conditions and are optimal settings for dissemination and implementation (D&I) research. Faith, Activity, and Nutrition (FAN) is an evidence-based program designed to promote physical activity (PA) and healthy eating (HE) through church policy, systems, and environmental change. We report implementation fidelity for Phase 1 of the FAN D&I project, a countywide effort. The group randomized study included pre- and postintervention assessments of core PA and HE components. We compared implementation in early intervention ( n = 35) versus delayed intervention (control, n = 19) churches; assessed individual church implementation; and examined the effects of level of implementation on church member outcomes.
