Early Movers Pilot Intervention

Child Development | Activity, Motor

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.
