Summary

Our Early Movers longitudinal study found that adherence to the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines in infancy is low across demographic groups, impacting overall development. Early Movers is a parent-focused intervention designed to increase dissemination and activation of the 24-Hour Movement Behaviour Guidelines for the Early Years. It adapts an established Australian intervention called INFANT. An important first step is conducting a pilot study.

Early Movers

The intervention includes: 1) an educational resource (i.e., hard-copy handout) developed for this study on the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines provided to parents at 2-month immunization appointments by public health nurses, who will answer any questions, followed by a discussion with research staff. 2) Follow-up support via access to a digital app with evidence-based information and support through an online toolkit, an anonymous forum, as well as weekly text messages that include tips and supportive messaging related to the guidelines.
