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.

Background: This project aimed to go beyond published literature to glean strategies and lessons learned on quality and safety (Q&S) best practices from centres with pre-eminent international reputations.
Methods: Nine centres participated in an interview; questions centred on approaches to building Q&S infrastructure around the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's (IHI's) Whole System Quality (WSQ) framework (Sampath et al. 2021).
We sought to develop recommendations to inform a framework for comprehensively assessing upper and lower limb pain in athletes including the key assessment items sports physiotherapists should consider. Real-time Delphi. We recruited sports physiotherapists who were currently working with athletes through the International Federation of Sports Physical Therapists and Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists.

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.
