STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS OF THIS STUDY
The lessons from this pilot can inform planning for implementation and evaluation at scale, to maximise the potential benefits generated by the model.Limitations included small sample sizes, short-term follow-up, lack of control group and lack of quantitative data on non-financial impacts.The study prioritised families who are often excluded from research and used a pragmatic and high-quality mixed-methods approach.The iterative approach to piloting in five sites across two Australian states, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, enabled identification of design components that contributed to feasibility.It is anticipated that the Healthier Wealthier Families model would be more feasible in the postpandemic context, as financial supports ended, and cost-of-living pressures increased.
