The Alder Group research profiled in Paediatrics and Child Health

March 2005

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.
