Abstract

(1) Background: To explore factors contributing to the Healthy Kids Community Challenge (HKCC) program implementation; (2) Methods: Data were collected through a quantitative survey (n = 124) and in-depth telephone interviews (n = 16) with program providers. Interviews were recorded and transcribed for thematic analysis using NVivo; (3) Results: Provincial funding and in-kind support from community partners were key. Initiatives were feasible to implement, and key messages were well-received by communities. Specific practices and process were commonly discussed, and strong local program leadership was crucial to implementation; (4) Conclusions: Results have implications for planning and implementing future multi-component, community-based health promotion programs that include similar partnerships.
