The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
project planning, implementation and assessment
RE-AIM assessment of Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance of the Community Center Programs, assessed by interview, There are 4-6 tailored questions in each domain and the answers are coded as yes, partially and no. Scores range from 0 -93

European Quality Instrument for Health Promotion
information on four domains using in-person interviews: (i) compliance with international principles of Health promotion programs, (ii) development and implementation, (iii) project management and (iv) sustainability of programs. each item of the EQUIHP tool was recoded on a scale of 0-1: a score of 0 if the criteria was identified as not fulfilled, 0.5 if partly fulfilled and 1 if fully fulfilled. The sum of all valid scores per programme was divided by the number of valid answers to give the mean score. A mean score was given for each of the four domains, and for the overall score in the same manner. Higher scores are better.
Measured: 6 months after intervention initiation
