Intervention Atlas

An atlas of European projects and interventions for obesity prevention in adults

The SPOTLIGHT project has undertaken a Europe-wide survey to provide an overview of projects and interventions to prevent adult obesity through improving diet and physical activity in the region.

The projects and interventions selected are aimed primarily at adults, and have more than one approach within them by including both individual and environmental components.

The interventions are a selection of what is available. We have not included every possible intervention (some are likely to be unknown to us) but we have tried to show the range of activities that have been developed and are active during the time of data collection.

For each project or intervention we have considered the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) aspects and we have given a summary where we have information available. In providing this evaluation we are not endorsing or providing recommendations for future practice.

The Intervention Atlas is also available in French here 

Information was collected between September 2012 and March 2014. Where possible, the information has been confirmed by the organisers of the project or intervention. Links to the project websites are given where these are available.
