Factors affecting the dose of intervention received and the participant satisfaction in a school-based obesity prevention intervention

This study assessed factors associated with the perceived dose of intervention received and with the participant satisfaction in a school-based obesity prevention intervention. It also explored the variance in the dose of intervention received that was at the school level. Process evaluation data fr...

description This study assessed factors associated with the perceived dose of intervention received and with the participant satisfaction in a school-based obesity prevention intervention. It also explored the variance in the dose of intervention received that was at the school level. Process evaluation data from a school-based intervention study conducted in Oslo in 2007–2009 were used. A total of 542 11-year-olds from 12 intervention schools were included. A web-based questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive analyses and multilevel regression analyses were conducted. Females and those with medium (vs. low) parental education had higher odds of reporting a high vs. low dose of intervention received at mid-way (8 months after baseline). Perceived social capital and perceived social support for physical activity from friends at baseline were positively associated with the dose of intervention received at mid-way. Perceived social capital at mid-way was positively associated with the dose of intervention reported post-intervention (20 months after baseline). Around 20% of the variance in the perceived dose of intervention received was at the school level. Satisfaction with the intervention was high overall and higher for females for several intervention components at mid-way and at post-intervention. The factors identified in this study should be taken into consideration when planning future obesity prevention interventions among youth.
