Based on inconsistent reporting of key outcomes (number of community members reached, changes to physical activity levels), overall impacts are unknown. Most demonstration projects captured community members' feedback, which was typically positive, but it is unknown whether feedback led to long-term changes. We recommend providing improved demonstration project guidance for practitioners to facilitate robust data collection, including suggested evaluation methods and tools.
