A large representative sample 1699 respondents completed questionnaire administered Czechia 2022. bivariate tests revealed significant all aspects. most these relationships mediated other factors.

Abstract As part of the Community Activation for Prevention (CAPS) randomized controlled trial (RCT) community gardening, we conducted a process evaluation to assess implementation gardening intervention over nine months, as measured by reach, fidelity (delivery, receipt, enactment), and acceptability. Evaluation instruments included repeated semi-structured interviews with study participants, direct observation garden sites, an exit survey participants. Primary outcomes were diet, physical activity, anthropometry; secondary stress anxiety. The CAPS 291 participants (19% non-white; 34% Hispanic/Latino; 35% without college degree; 58% income < $50,000 per year). Intervention delivery receipt high environmental supports. Garden social events offered 73% gardens, although only 48% reported attending these events. Of 145 assigned intervention, 97 (67%) entire season visiting median 90 min week (range: 0–840). who completed (48%), 89% highly satisfied overall experience. was favorably received implemented fidelity, supporting validity outcomes. These findings suggest that gardens are viable health promotion strategy can be successfully among new gardeners from diverse backgrounds. Strategies engage in aspects environment connect “mentors” or “buddies” ensure achieve success their first years recommended. Trial registration: NCT03089177.
