Work Package 3 (WP3) is focused on evaluating the feasibility of implementing active mobility and transport systems (AMTS) interventions to promote healthy lifestyle practices and enhance mental well-being within underserved urban communities in Maputo, Mozambique. The project will leverage the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to tailor AMTS interventions and conduct a thorough situational and policy analysis specific to Maputo.
To establish a comprehensive understanding of the health conditions within the target population, WP3 will establish a baseline by assessing physical activity levels, dietary habits, body mass index, and mental well-being. Citizen science and mobile methods will be employed to delve into healthy lifestyle practices and mental well-being, particularly among adolescents. A pilot AMTS intervention will be initiated, focusing on a target group of 40 secondary school students.
The anticipated outcomes of WP3 encompass evaluating the acceptability and perception of the intervention among the target population. Additionally, WP3 aims to develop a robust protocol for potential scaling-up processes, ensuring that successful interventions can be effectively expanded to benefit a larger audience.
