Implementation

The education program with community members using the created products was implemented. Three local organizations participated (two neighborhood associations [A & B] and one community group [C]), who engaged in community building at the suggestion of members of the research team conference. Programs were held at a meeting hall or other community buildings. There were 48, 50, and 20 participating community members, respectively, for organizations A, B, and C (N = 118). Neighborhood association A’s participants included two staff members of an integrated community support center. As a general rule, only one person was in charge of the program designed to be led by one person. Upon implementing the program for the first time with neighborhood association A, seven research team members participated, offered support, and observed how the group work proceeded but did not actively intervene.
