背景研究和实践的伙伴关系有可能提高翻译的研究成果转化为practice.Purpose-本文介绍了这样的伙伴关系在发展中的步行堪萨斯（WK）和突出个人和组织层面outcomes.Method阶段1检查：（一）达到WK，（B）体力活动的变化，和（c）维护体力活动的变化6个月后，该计划完成。第2阶段探讨了WK的采用和可持续性超过5 years.Results WK吸引了大量的参与者，他们更有可能是女性，更活跃，年龄比成年人口在他们居住的县。基线时不活跃或活动不足的参与者在中度（p < 0.001）和剧烈（p < 0.001）体力活动方面都有显著增加。随机选择的参与者在项目完成后6个月进行评估，并没有显示出在项目完成和6个月随访之间中度或剧烈活动的显着减少。采用该计划的县数逐年增加，在2006年达到峰值97，并证明了WK的可持续性超过5 years.Conclusions WK是有效的，具有广泛的影响力，并使参与者保持增加的活动。它还显示出广泛采用和可持续性的希望。
Background Research and practice partnerships have the potential to enhance the translation of research findings into practice.Purpose This paper describes such a partnership in the development of Walk Kansas (WK) and highlights individual and organizational level outcomes.Method Phase 1 examined: (a) the reach of WK, (b) physical activity changes, and (c) maintenance of physical activity changes 6 months after the program was completed. Phase 2 explored WK adoption and sustainability over 5 years.Results WK attracted a large number of participants who were more likely to be female, more active, and older than the adult population within the counties where they resided. Inactive or insufficiently active participants at baseline experienced significant increases in both moderate (p < 0.001) and vigorous (p < 0.001) physical activity. A random selection of participants who were assessed 6 months post-program did not demonstrate a significant decrease in moderate or vigorous activity between program completion and 6-month follow-up. The number of counties adopting the program increased across years, peaking at 97 in 2006 and demonstrated the sustainability of the WK over 5 years.Conclusions WK is effective, has a broad reach, and enables participants to maintain increased activity. It also shows promise for broad adoption and sustainability.
