Introduction: The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has steadily increased in recent decades, presenting a serious risk to public health and significant burden on individuals, healthcare systems, and society more broadly. Early intervention family-based lifestyle programs are an efficacious intervention for addressing childhood obesity. However, many studies have not included a process evaluation which can limit future scale-up of efficacious interventions. The Family Healthy Living Program (FHLP), an evidence-based, stakeholder-informed family-based healthy living intervention for children with a BMI-for-age ≥85th and their families was developed and piloted in British Columbia. The free 10-week program, based on the multi-process action control theory, utilized a blended delivery model consisting of 90-minute weekly group sessions plus online lessons, four community-based activities and four maintenance sessions. Topics included healthy eating, physical activity, sleep, screen-time, positive mental health, food and physical literacy, and behavior change techniques. Eleven programs ran in seven BC communities (September 2018-April 2019). Purpose: To evaluate the recruitment, intervention content, delivery, and implementation of the FHLP for quality improvements and to inform decisions about potential scale-up. Methods: A mixed-methods concurrent triangulation process evaluation design with equally-weighted qualitative and quantitative data was used and represented one component of a Type I hybrid effectiveness trial for the FHLP Study. Implementation was evaluated at both family and program delivery levels. Family measures were reach, recruitment, dose received, satisfaction, and facilitators and barriers to participation. Program delivery measures were adoption, fidelity, acceptability, feasibility, compatibility, and facilitators and barriers to program implementation. Qualitative data was collected through interviews and focus groups with parents, program leaders, recreation centre managers, and program support team. Quantitative data was collected from parent and child satisfaction surveys, weekly program leader surveys, attendance forms, and online lesson analytics. Quantitative descriptives were generated using SPSS. Qualitative interviews were recorded and transcribed using TranscriptiveTM software, and analysis conducted using NVIVO. A framework analysis approach was applied. Results: 132 families were eligible (n=211 enquiries), and 79 families (88 children) registered (42%). 55 families (63 children) started the program and 80% completed. Of those, 82.5% of families attended 70% of sessions. 26% of families accessed 30%+ of core online lesson content. Average contact time was 17.7 hours (range 12.78-25.02). Family participation facilitators were: free of cost, location, sibling inclusion, and complimentary recreation passes. Participation barriers were: other commitments, illness, transportation, and scheduling. Program acceptability/satisfaction across parents and children was high, with satisfaction ratings over 4/5 for all measures. Seven of the nine (78%) communities originally identified as pilot sites implemented the program. Fidelity was 73.5% across program components (range 42-95%). At the delivery-level, implementation facilitators were high compatibility and feasibility, context (support from recreation centre, having qualified staff), and resources (room availability, manual, equipment, grant funding). Barriers to implementation were recruitment, small group size, attendance, and limited time to deliver material. Interviews showed program leader acceptability/satisfaction across all sites. Conclusions: The FHLP was acceptable and feasible for families and program delivery partners, but recruitment, attendance, and on-line engagement were implementation challenges. Program adjustments are recommended prior to scale-up.

Ohmer and DeMasi are experienced organizers who offer a relentlessly thorough examination of the process of bringing diverse communities together to make change and to bridge the ethnic and economic divisions that keep many communities from succeeding." —Bill Traynor Executive Director, Lawrence CommunityWorks Inc.

But for this to happen, major challenges that reduce urban communities' quality of life and economic opportunities must be addressed. These include poor planning, a lack of affordable housing, inequalities, pollution, climate vulnerabilities, and urban infrastructure deficits. The book's 19 articles unwrap these challenges and present solutions focused on smart and inclusive planning, sustainable transport and energy, innovative financing, and resilience and rejuvenation.

Beginning with the foundations of community development, An Introduction to Community Development offers a comprehensive and practical approach to planning for communities. Road-tested in the authors’ own teaching, and through the training they provide for practicing planners, it enables students to begin making connections between academic study and practical know-how from both private and public sector contexts. An Introduction to Community Development shows how planners can utilize local economic interests and integrate finance and marketing considerations into their strategy. Most importantly, the book is strongly focused on outcomes, encouraging students to ask: what is best practice when it comes to planning for communities, and how do we accurately measure the results of planning practice? This newly revised and updated edition includes: increased coverage of sustainability issues, discussion of localism and its relation to community development, quality of life, community well-being and public health considerations, and content on local food systems. Each chapter provides a range of reading materials for the student, supplemented with text boxes, a chapter outline, keywords, and reference lists, and new skills based exercises at the end of each chapter to help students turn their learning into action, making this the most user-friendly text for community development now available.

Social justice has always been a core value driving public health. Today, much of the etiology of avoidable disease is rooted in inequitable social conditions brought on by disparities in wealth and power and reproduced through ongoing forms of oppression, exploitation, and marginalization. Tackling Health Inequities raises questions and provides a starting point for health practitioners ready to reorient public health practice to address the fundamental causes of health inequities. This reorientation involves restructuring the organization, culture and daily work of public health. Tackling Health Inequities is meant to inspire readers to imagine or envision public health practice and their role in ways that question contemporary thinking and assumptions, as emerging trends, social conditions, and policies generate increasing inequities in health.

The April 2012 issue of the World Economic Outlook assesses the prospects for the global economy, which has gradually strengthened after a major setback during 2011. The threat of a sharp global slowdown eased with improved activity in the United States and better policies in the euro area. Weak recovery will likely resume in the major advanced economies, and activity will remain relatively solid in most emerging and developing economies. However, recent improvements are very fragile. Policymakers must calibrate policies to support growth in the near term and must implement fundamental changes to achieve healthy growth in the medium term. Chapter 3 examines how policies directed at real estate markets can accelerate the improvement of household balance sheets and thus support otherwise anemic consumption. Chapter 4 examines how swings in commodity prices affect commodity-exporting economies, many of which have experienced a decade of good growth. With commodity prices unlikely to continue growing at the recent elevated pace, however, these economies may have to adapt their fiscal and other policies to lower potential output growth in the future.
