Evidence Summary
External process evaluators reported “caregiver survey results and focus group discussions revealed a relatively high level of use and satisfaction with the program materials.” The Westat team completed in-depth interviews with current EA team members, a teacher from an EA school, among others. Focus groups were also held with seven parents and eight children at an elementary school where EA had been implemented. Parents believed, EA messages “were coming through ‘loud and clear’ for several reasons: the books were easy to read; the stories were presented through animals (which can have cultural meanings); the artwork was really appealing; and…being a school-based based program made the messages more meaningful.”
Improvements at p<.01 were seen from pre- to post-test in: (1) Student desire to consume healthy foods and drinks over less healthy foods and drinks, and (2) Student desire to engage in moving activities over sedentary activities.
