Study type | Interventional |
Childhood obesity is one of the greatest challenges facing public health and recent evidence shows it begins in preschool aged children. It has been suggested that interventions be carried out to improve physical activity and healthy eating behaviour among young children. This study aims to fully evaluate Healthy Start, a multilevel physical activity and healthy eating intervention for preschool aged children. It is hypothesized that the Healthy Start intervention will improve both eating and physical activity behaviors of children attending early childcare centers because of its influence on multiple factors.

Inclusion Criteria: - Early childcare center must prepare and provide meals for lunch Exclusion Criteria: - Any early childcare center that has already received a physical activity or nutrition promoting intervention in the past to avoid underestimating the effect of the Healthy Start intervention - For feasibility reasons, the number of children attending the early childcare center also serves as an exclusion criterion; centers with less than 20 children from the ages of 3 to 5 are not considered |

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Body Mass Index | Height and weight are measured using a standardized protocol. A composite outcome measure, body mass index (BMI), is calculated using the ratio of weight (kg) and squared height (m2) and will be used to determine if children are overweight or obese by following the International Obesity Task Force thresholds as recommended. | The intervention spans a period of 6 months. Outcomes are measured before and after intervention. | |
Other | Waist circumference | Waist circumference is measured using a standardized protocol. Two measures of waist circumference to the nearest 0.1cm are obtain for each participant. If discrepancies greater than 0.5 cm are observed between the two measures, a third measure is obtained. The average of the two closest measures is recorded. | The intervention spans a period of 6 months. Outcomes are measured before and after intervention. | |
Primary | Physical Activity Level | Children's physical activity levels are obtained using an Actical accelerometer worn during attendance of ECC for five consecutive days. Accelerometers represent an objective and valid method of measuring physical activity in preschool aged children. | The intervention spans a period of 6 months. Outcomes are measured before and after intervention. | |
Primary | Physical Literacy | Physical literacy and gross motor skills of children will be measured using the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-II). The TGMD-II is a standardized test designed to assess the gross motor functioning in children aged 3 through 10 years | The intervention spans a period of 6 months. Outcomes are measured before and after intervention. | |
Primary | Dietary Intake | Intake analysis provides information on the intake of calories, macronutrients and micronutrients in children attending the centers. This method has been extensively used in studies concerning school-aged children and is considered the most precise measurement of dietary intake. In this study, intake analysis is done using the photography-assisted weighted plate waste method centers. | The intervention spans a period of 6 months. Outcomes are measured before and after intervention. | |
Secondary | Early Childcare Center Practices and Policies for Physical Activity and Nutrition | Dietary and physical activity practices and policies in ECC are measured using the Nutrition and Physical Activity Self-Assessment of Child Care (NAP SACC), filled out independently by two research assistants in each ECC. | The intervention spans a period of 6 months. Outcomes are measured before and after intervention. |
