为了告知关于公共卫生干预措施可持续性的健康促进实践，作者采访了13个新的社区组织的负责人，这些组织是通过一项旨在促进社区体育活动的倡导者发起的公共卫生干预措施创建的。访谈的目的是揭示导致组织主管参与倡议并在较长时间内保持参与的因素。研究结果显示，领导健走俱乐部有三种正面的结果：维持和改善健康、个人满意度和团体动机。与指导俱乐部有关的困难包括参与者流动率高，俱乐部董事孤立，缺乏社区组织的支持。俱乐部董事表示，可持续性将通过发展个人能力，变得更加精通领导团队的动态，并在社区中发展更好的扎根来提高。这一信息是根据与可持续性有关的六个因素解释的。
To inform health promotion practice regarding the sustainability of public health interventions, the authors interviewed the directors of 13 new communitybased organizations created through a practitionerinitiated public health intervention designed to promote physical activity at the community level. The purpose of the interviews was to uncover the factors that lead organization directors to become involved in the initiative and to maintain their involvement across an extended period of time. Results showed that there were 3 categories of positive outcomes associated with leading a walking club: maintaining and improving health, personal satisfaction, and group motivation. Difficulties associated with directing the club included high participant turnover rates, isolation of club directors, and lack of support from community organizations. Club directors indicated that sustainability would be enhanced through developing individual competencies, becoming more proficient at leading group dynamics, and developing better rootedness in the community. This information is interpreted in light of the six factors associated with sustainability.
