title: [Quality criteria for health promotion and primary prevention measures in association with obesity in children and adolescents. A BZgA-coordinated expert consensus].
abstract: On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Health, a working group coordinated by the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) compiled quality criteria for health promotion and primary prevention measures in association with obesity in children and adolescents that are applicable both to population-wide and to target group-specific measures. The criteria are intended to support the planning of new measures and the conceptual improvement of existing measures. Additional elements are the assessment of programs for financing purposes and the rendering of accounts to funding agencies, as well as the acquisition of further knowledge. The criteria, thus, address not only project developers and providers, but also multipliers who implement measures, as well as funding agencies, who can use the criteria as a basis for assessing the measures. The structure of the quality criteria is geared to the fundamental structure of the Public Health Action Cycle. In addition, resource orientation, participation and, above all, organizational development are important aspects associated with quality that have not been given adequate consideration to date. The quality criteria are applicable to all situation-based and behavioral prevention measures, and also development processes that focus on promoting the health and normal weight development of children and adolescents.
