Conclusion
This study found potential for the inclusion of interactive strategies such as e-newsletters and animated videos to disseminate policy and guideline information within the ECEC setting to increase intention to adopt outdoor free play policies. Further research should explore the added benefits of embedding such strategies within a multi-strategy implementation intervention as initial adoption is a pre-requisite to ongoing implementation. Findings from this study will inform future dissemination strategies to maximise the reach and adoption of health-related information within the ECEC setting, particularly where rapid communication is needed.
