“…SHAPES intervention delivery improved over the 3 years, possibly due to teacher experience, interventionist experience, and/or the time needed for organizational change to take place. As is commonly reported in the literature (Alhassan & Whitt-Glover, 2014;Finch et al, 2014;Herbert et al, 2013), variability in implementation occurred over time for a given teacher and within a given school at any point in time. This variability suggests that classroom-and school-level factors influenced preschool teacher implementation, which we are investigating as a reflection of setting complexity (Craig et al, 2008;Foster-Fishman, Nowell, & Yang, 2007;Hawe, Shiell, & Riley, 2004.…”

This study investigated the utility of the Study of Health and Activity in Preschool Environments (SHAPES) conceptual model, which targeted physical activity behavior (PA) in preschool children, by examining the relationship between implementation monitoring data and child PA during the school day. We monitored implementation completeness and fidelity based on multiple elements identified in the conceptual model. Comparing high-implementing, low-implementing and control groups revealed no association between implementation and outcomes. We performed post hoc analyses, using process data, to refine our conceptual model’s depiction of an effective preschool PA-promoting environment. Results suggest that a single component of the original four-component conceptual model, providing opportunities for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) through recess for 4-year-old children in preschool settings, may be a good starting place for increasing MVPA. Interventions that are implemented with optimal levels of completeness and fidelity are more likely to achieve behavior change if they are based on accurate conceptual models. Examining the mechanisms through which an intervention produces its effects, as articulated in the conceptual model that guides it, is particularly important for environmentally-focused interventions because they are guided by emerging frameworks. The results of this study underscore the utility of using implementation monitoring data to examine the conceptual model upon which the intervention is based.

Introduction: Little research has been devoted to preschool obesity prevention in Tunisia. Our purpose was to evaluate feasibility and effects of an intervention program for preschoolers, parents and kindergarten staffs aiming to increase the proportion of children doing physical activity and those with balanced eating habits. Methods:We carried out a quasi-experimental intervention study with two groups: A control group and an intervention group. The participants were preschoolers aged 4 to 5 years, their parents and the kindergarten staffs. The sample size to select children was based on a significance level of α=5% and a power 1-β=80% and 10% change in physical activity practice and balanced eating habits. In each group, we made a pre-post assessment of diet and physical activity habits. The intervention consisted in a multidimensional lifestyle intervention with training sessions, workshops, tournaments and educative supports. Data analysis was stratified according to socioeconomic status.Results: At baseline, 270 and 269 preschoolers composed respectively the intervention and control groups. At the post-assessment, the number increased to respectively 347 and 230 preschoolers in intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, 52.9% of the mothers and 56.5% of the fathers were executive versus 37.1% and 43.5% respectively in the control group. In the intervention group, the proportion of children with balanced eating habits had significantly increased between baseline and post-assessment for both executive parents. The proportion of preschoolers doing physical activity outdoors the kindergarten was improved among executive mothers and fathers in the intervention group without significant change. In the control group, there was an increase observed only for executive fathers. Conclusion:Significant changes of physical activity habits and diet characteristics were obtained in the intervention group unlike the control group. The socioeconomic status seems to be determinant in guiding intervention program.

“…Study conducted in number of German preschool children found they can prepare 'magic fruit plate' twice weekly. Therefore, it was recommended that health promotional activities should increase in preschool children in Germany (Herbert et al, 2012). In corporation of increase health educational programme and implementation in preschool children has been considered as 'worthy social investments in the human capital of children' (Ling et al, 2014;Duncan and Magnuson, 2013;Obeng, 2010;Logue and Harvey, 2010).…”
