SCORE! aims to weave together theory-based approaches, evidence-informed practice, and lived experiences to co-design a relevant and accessible population-based intervention:

1. Use photovoice, an empowering visually-oriented methodology, to understand the barriers and facilitators to healthy active living experienced by newcomer families
2. Collaborate with local schools on a “Gallery Walk” workshop to learn about youth perspectives on outdoor/indoor activities, what activities they would like to do more often, preferred spaces/places, and ways these could be achieved
3. Create an interactive “Systems Map” of Hamilton-based programs, spaces, and places which offer health and wellness programs for children 5-11 years of age
4. Conduct evidence reviews of nature-based interventions, and other Healthy Active Living interventions among new immigrant communities in High Income Countries
5. Develop and pilot test the components of a family network-based intervention aiming to impact Healthy Active Living behaviours.

SCORE! Is a project where Health Equity meets Public Health and endeavours to discover effective strategies that can enable Newcomer families when they arrive in Canada to optimize the health trajectories of their children. This includes all aspects of Healthy Active Living in order to prevent early onset chronic disease risk factors such as overweight and type 2 diabetes for example, while promoting optimal mental health and well-being, community integration, and success at school.
