Brief Summary

Hamilton is a city with a growing newcomer population. Families who are new to Canada do not always have the same resources to access healthy active living (HAL) activities as compared to Canadian-born families. The SCORE! ACTIVE trial will recruit newcomer families with young children in Hamilton and help provide them with access to HAL activities. Through this, the investigators want to see if newcomer children's perspectives of physical activity will change over time. They will also see if increasing newcomer children's access to these resources will promote an increase in HAL behaviours.

Conditions

Chronic Disease; Childhood Obesity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Children's Self-Perceptions of Adequacy in and Predilection for Physical Activity (CSAPPA) Scale

  Using CSAPPA, a 19-item scale that measures how children feel about their physical activity skills and their likelihood of choosing physical activities, a change in children's physical activity self-efficacy will be measured at 6 months as the primary outcome.

  Baseline to 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Children's Self-Perceptions of Adequacy in and Predilection for Physical Activity (CSAPPA) Scale

  12 months from baseline; 18 months from baseline

• Physical Activity & Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire
