Evaluation of an Enhanced Delivery Model for Go NAPSACC

Summary

This study will compare the effectiveness and cost of Basic and Enhanced delivery models for Go NAPSACC on child care centers' use of evidence-based nutrition and physical activity practices. Technical assistance (TA) coaches from Child Care Aware of Kentucky will lead delivery. Half of the TA coaches will deliver Go NAPSACC using the Basic model and the other half will deliver the program using the Enhanced model. It is hypothesized that the Enhanced model will result in greater use of evidence-based nutrition and physical activity practices and will also be more cost effective.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Enhanced Go NAPSACC

In the Enhanced delivery model, TA coaches will help centers create an implementation team and conduct a needs assessment to identify organizational strengths and challenges. TA coaches will also provide an orientation to Go NAPSACC and its online tools and help the team develop a plan to guide their Go NAPSACC efforts. The team will then work through 2 cycles of Go NAPSACC over 12 months. During each cycle (6 months), centers will take self-assessments on nutrition and physical activity, choose 6 goals (3 from each), create action plans, and take action to achieve their chosen goals. Throughout this 12-month period, TA coaches will provide monthly check-ins incorporating tailored support based on the results from the needs assessment. They will also organize 2-3 meetings among teams from different centers to reflect and share lessons learned.

BEHAVIORAL

Basic Go NAPSACC

In the Basic delivery model, TA coaches will provide an orientation to Go NAPSACC and its online tools to the center director. The director will then work 2 cycles of Go NAPSACC over 12 months. During each cycle (6 months), centers will take self-assessments on nutrition and physical activity, choose 6 goals (3 from each), create action plans, and take action to achieve their chosen goals. Throughout this 12-month period, TA coaches will provide monthly brief check-ins.
