Table 3 Framing case studies using the PRODUCES method

From: Framework, principles and recommendations for utilising participatory methodologies in the co-creation and evaluation of public health interventions

PRODUCES

Case 1

Case 2

Case 3

Problem

Older adults are too sedentary and spend long periods sitting

Accidental falls causes individual suffering and substantial costs to society

Adolescent girls have low levels of physical activity. Many interventions fail to induce an effect on girls’ physical activity level, often because this target group is difficult to reach and less likely to engage in interventions

Objective

To design an intervention that will help older adults break up long sitting periods

To design a mobile application that will enable seniors to create and adhere to an individually tailored strength and balance exercise programme

To design an intervention to promote physical activity
