EQUAL - Equity impacts of interventions to increase physical activity (1st funding phase)
Description
EQUAL is a subproject of the BMBF funded prevention network "AEQUIPA - Physical activity and health equity: primary prevention for healthy ageing" and is designed as a cross-cutting project on methods development and support. The network's core topic is the promotion of physical activity as an important factor for healthy ageing with particular focus on health equity.
The main focus of EQUAL refers to the question on how interventions aiming to increase physical activity especially in the elderly population have to be designed to adequately address vulnerable and socially disadvantaged groups and not increase health inequalities. In this regard, the evidence on strategies and methods of social inequalities-sensitive planning, implementation and evaluation of physical activity interventions in the elderly will be synthesized by analyses of published studies and expert interviews. Results of the evidence synthesis will be used to provide methodical advice for the subprojects of the AEQUIPA-network. For this purpose, workshops will be performed regularly, with the participation of external experts from the field. Another goal of this project is to develop innovative methods for equity impact assessment of complex interventions and to apply these methods to the evaluation of the interventions implemented by the subprojects of the AEQUIPA-network.
EQUAL is carried out in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Hajo Zeeb and Dr. Tilman Brand, Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology - BIPS, Department of Prevention and Evaluation.
