Published: October 2017

There is evidence of a correlation between adoption of the Ottawa Charter's framework of five action areas and health promotion programme effectiveness, but the Charter's framework has not been as fully implemented as hoped, nor is generally used by formal programme design models. In response, we aimed to translate the Charter's framework into a method to inform programme design. Our resulting design process uses detailed definitions of the Charter's action areas and evidence of predicted effectiveness to prompt greater consideration and use of the Charter's framework. We piloted the process by applying it to the design of four programmes of the Healthy Children's Initiative in New South Wales, Australia; refined the criteria via consensus; and made consensus decisions on the extent to which programme designs reflected the Charter's framework. The design process has broad potential applicability to health promotion programmes; facilitating greater use of the Ottawa Charter framework, which evidence indicates can increase programme effectiveness.

This paper proposes a platform trial for conducting A/B tests with multiple arms and interim monitoring to investigate the impact of several factors on the expected sample size and probability of early stopping. We examined the performance of three stopping boundaries: O'Brien Fleming (OBF) stopping for either futility or difference (both), Pocock stopping for futility only, and fixed sample size design. We simulated twelve scenarios of different orders of arms based on various effect sizes, as well as considered 1 or 3 interim looks.
