“…Unfortunately, the omission of measures that enabled the effectiveness assessment made it difficult to determine the extent to which this objective was being met. In sport, researchers have highlighted the need to clearly articulate a program's objectives and how the attainment of those objectives will be evaluated (Lawrason et al, 2021). Although it is an important endeavor for youth sport programs, it is worth noting the difficulty based on the current research landscape for practitioners to obtain specific tools to facilitate the evaluation of their programs.…”

“…Traditional evaluations put unequal importance on evidence-informed effectiveness measures in comparison to other RE-AIM indicators. The emphasis on evidence-informed over pragmatic indicators can serve as an additional barrier for pre-existing programs as rigorous methods are not likely to be adopted by grassroots programs (Lawrason et al, 2021;Shaw et al, 2019). Additionally, certain aspects of the NUTMEG philosophy were unclear, making it difficult to measure.…”

“…By using these broad and flexible dimensions, researchers and practitioners can collaboratively evaluate the impact of sport programs. Such efforts have been undertaken with multisport service organizations (MSO; Lawrason et al, 2021); however, we were not aware of attempts to collaborate with grass-roots level municipal sport programs. Accordingly, the purpose of the current project was to demonstrate the feasibility and benefit of an intersectoral exchange with a not-for-profit community sport program.…”

T The need for developmentally appropriate youth sport programs has instigated evidence-informed research interventions, yet intersectoral exchanges with pre-existing community-based sport programs remain rare. As such, this study involved a collaborative evaluation of a community sport program designed for underserved youth using the RE-AIM framework (Glasglow et al., 1999). Data were available to evaluate the programs reach and maintenance; however, the adoption and implementation dimensions required further evidence-informed tools for reliable evaluation. Similarly, whereas the organization deemed their effectiveness to be a critical component of the program, an inadequate amount of data was available to enable its measurement. We provide recommendations for establishing partnerships between researchers and pre-existing youth sport programs and discuss the implications of developing a user-friendly and evidence-informed evaluation toolkit.

“…Recruitment can involve conducting surveys and direct outreach through emails, questionnaires, social media, and face-to-face interactions at the sports organization. 45 Parents can be informed about the full program after participating in a short initial activity on the topic. This approach has been shown to be effective in generating more engagement, especially among people with higher incomes, education levels, and literacy in the program's subject matter.…”

“…It is also important to identify the target number of parents who will benefit from the program to monitor those who drop out or fail to complete it. Recruitment can involve conducting surveys and direct outreach through emails, questionnaires, social media, and face‐to‐face interactions at the sports organization 45 .

In recent years, there has been an increase in the delivery and evaluation of parent education programs within youth sport. Subsequently, some recent reviews of these programs have been conducted. However, one consistent issue across many of the programs and associated review papers is the lack of an appropriate evaluation framework to guide the planning or associated reporting of the outcomes of the interventions. This has limited understanding of the overall impact of sport parenting interventions. Thus, the purposes of the current study were as follows: (a) to identify commonalities in the reporting and evaluation of parent education programs; (b) to identify gaps in the reporting and evaluation of parent education programs; (c) to draw these insights together to provide suggestions regarding how the RE‐AIM could be used to enhance planning and evaluation of evidence‐based programs for parent education in sport. Specifically, utilizing the RE‐AIM framework to provide insights into pertinent evaluation metrics, this integrative review aimed to identify commonalities and gaps in the reporting of parent education programs. The RE‐AIM framework considers the essential elements to assess the external and internal validity of interventions through five dimensions: Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (Am J Public Health. 1999;89(9):1322‐1327). Subsequently, the review aimed to provide suggestions regarding strategies to enhance the planning and evaluation of evidence‐based programs for parent education in sport. Overall, the analysis demonstrated that most studies presented some pertinent evaluation information related to the RE‐AIM framework, such as the number of participants and contacts made, the measures used, and the program level. However, the studies also lacked information on participant exclusion criteria, the method used to select the delivery agent (e.g., parents engaged in the program), and cost measures. Overall, the current study identified various areas where programs could be enhanced, specifically related to reporting procedural elements (e.g., program design, target population, and costs) pertaining to the implementation of parent education programs.
