Evaluation report: 'Go for your life' is now available

In 2006, six 'Go for your life' community demonstration projects were funded. The overall aim of the projects was to increase healthy eating and physical activity levels in children, families and adults in areas of socio-economic disadvantage.  Five Primary Care Partnerships (PCPs) and one Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) were funded.  These projects were completed in June 2010 with the final evaluation recently completed and made available online.

In addition, the published evaluation design for the 5 PCP based projects is available for reading here.
