Early Movers Pilot Intervention

Our goal is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the Early Movers intervention, a scalable, theory-based, parent-focused intervention designed to increase dissemination and activation of the 24-Hour Movement Behaviour Guidelines for the Early Years.

Primary Objectives:

• Explore the feasibility of the Early Movers intervention protocol, including recruitment, retention, data collection, and procedures. Specifically, we will examine:

• the willingness of first-time parents to enroll and remain in the study,
• data collection completion rates, and
• the integrity of the protocol components to all work together and run smoothly.
• Explore the acceptability of the intervention by parents and public health staff.
