| Summary: | <p>The purpose of this article is to present how the RE-AIM framework can be used in the planning and evaluation of physical activity promotion programs. Using the "VAMOS Program" (Vida Ativa Melhorando a Saúde), conducted with the elderly in Florianópolis, we demonstrate its applicability. The RE-AIM framework consists of five dimensions that together, when properly applied, maximize the public health impact of health-related interventions. We further identify the applicability and potential of the RE-AIM in the Brazilian context, and suggest that this framework could be used in the planning, evaluation and dissemination of physical activity promotion programs.</p> <p> </p> |
