Trial summary

The overall aim of this proposal is to develop and test early childhood education setting-based physical activity (PA) interventions that are innovative by using wearable technology to facilitate monitoring, feedback and motivation for physical activity across multiple levels (child, parent, educator).

About this study

The overall aim of this proposal is to develop and test early childhood education setting-based physical activity (PA) interventions that are innovative by using wearable technology to facilitate monitoring, feedback and motivation for physical activity across multiple levels (child, parent, educator). We posit that our intervention strategies will promote behavior changes in parents and educators, leading to greater awareness and communication about physical activity, more active play opportunities, and ultimately more physical activity for preschoolers. In the R21, we will test the acceptability, feasibility and initial efficacy of three 6 month early childhood education setting- based, multi-level interventions to promote preschoolers' PA using wearable technology and additional behavior change techniques to engage educators and parents. The results of this study will inform a larger intervention trial.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Post-intervention physical activity (children)

    accelerometer measured

    Measured: Month 6 compared to baseline

  2. Post-intervention physical activity (children)

    accelerometer measured

    Measured: Month 1 compared to baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Active play opportunities at child care

    Using an observation tool, a trained research assistant will note opportunities for active play (including teacher led, child-initiated, outdoor and indoor)

    Measured: Month 6 compared to baseline

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-intervention physical activity (children) (time frame: Month 6 compared to baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Sep 2020.
