摘要
ObjectivesA scoping review was conducted to synthesize the literature examining impact of the Children's Fitness Tax Credit (CFTC) on the physical activity (PA) of Canadian children. Specifically, we posed two research questions seeking evidence for: (1) equitable take-up (e.g., claiming, use) of the CFTC by Canadian families; and (2) effectiveness of the CFTC in promoting or facilitating PA or sport participation among Canadian children and adolescents.MethodsA search was conducted in May 2023 of five databases (e.g., Medline, Scopus) and hand searching using terms such as children, adolescents, physical activity, sport, tax credit or taxation. Documents were included if they were data-based studies, available in English or French, and related to the research questions. They were then coded for characteristics of the document, sample, data, behaviour, and findings.SynthesisOf 318 possible documents, 7 documents revealing 26 findings were included after a full-article scan. Most of the documents were published and had a national scope. The most frequent source of data was from parental reports (62%), with the most common types of behaviour being tax claim take-up rates (31%) or PA (27%). For the two research questions, the available evidence suggests no support for equitable take-up of the CFTC or the amount claimed, and most of the findings indicated no (64%) or limited effectiveness of the tax credit (29%).ConclusionThe CFTC had limited to no impact in promoting PA among Canadian children, particularly for those experiencing low income. ObjectifsNous avons mene une etude de champ pour resumer la litterature scientifique sur les effets du Credit d'impot pour la condition physique des enfants (CICPE) sur l'activite physique (AP) des enfants canadiens. Plus precisement, nous avons pose deux questions de recherche pour recueillir des donnees au sujet de : 1) l'equite du recours (p. ex. demandes, utilisation) au CICPE par les familles canadiennes; et 2) l'efficacite du CICPE pour promouvoir ou faciliter l'AP ou la participation au sport chez les enfants et les adolescents canadiens.MethodeEn mai 2023, nous avons consulte cinq bases de donnees (dont Medline et Scopus) et effectue une recherche manuelle a l'aide de termes comme << enfants >>, << adolescents >>, << activite physique >>, << sports >>, << credit d'impot >> ou << fiscalite >>. Nous avons inclus les etudes provenant de bases de donnees, disponibles en anglais ou en francais et liees aux questions de recherche. Ces documents ont ensuite ete codes en fonction de leurs caracteristiques, de leur echantillon, de leurs donnees, de leurs constats et des comportements etudies.SyntheseSur 318 documents possibles, 7 documents revelant 26 constats ont ete inclus a la suite d'un balayage complet des articles. La plupart des documents etaient publies et de portee nationale. La source de donnees la plus frequente etait les declarations parentales (62 %); les types de comportements les plus courants etaient les taux de demande de credit d'impot (31 %) et l'AP (27 %). Pour les deux questions de recherche, les donnees disponibles n'appuient pas l'equite du recours au CICPE ou du montant reclame, et la plupart des constats indiquent que l'efficacite du credit d'impot a ete nulle (64 %) ou limitee (29 %).ConclusionLe CICPE a eu un effet nul ou limite sur la promotion de l'AP chez les enfants canadiens, surtout dans les menages a faible revenu.
