Summary

This study uses a Hybrid research design to assess the effectiveness and implementation of a preschool-based programme - the Appetite Toolbox - delivered by Early Childhood Educators to promote children's appetite awareness and eating regulation skills. Children, their caregivers and classroom teachers will be recruited across 18 classrooms from preschool childcare centers. Preschool educators will deliver the Appetite Toolbox over a period of six weeks. Using a waitlist-control design we will measure changes in children's appetite awareness and eating regulation skills in school and describe implementation outcomes, such as fidelity, acceptability, and feasibility of the programme.
