To encourage paediatricians to promote healthy
active living among their patients, the Canadian
Paediatric Society contracted The Alder Group
to prepare a community action kit, providing physicians
with resources and information they could readily
apply with their patients and their families.
Before developing the kit, The Alder Group conducted
research to assess paediatricians' knowledge of
healthy active living (HAL), how they currently
use HAL materials, what new materials would be
most useful, and who would be most likely to carry
the messages forward. The results of the survey
are summarized in the March issue of Paediatrics
and Child Health, the official journal of the
Canadian Paediatric Society.
