Actual (reported)Change in KAH Score for Children
Change in weighted knowledge, attitude, habit (KAH) (70/20/10) score among children after 5 months of intervention as compared to prior to intervention. The study hypothesized that the mean change in knowledge scores associated with this short intervention period would be larger than the mean changes in scores due to attitudes and habits, differential weights (70, 20, and 10, respectively) were given to the scores a priori to compose a standardized weighted total score (WTS). The developed questionnaires measured knowledge, attitudes, and habits on healthy eating and living an active lifestyle in children, parents, and teachers. Scale range: 0-100 Knowledge scale range: 0-100 Attitude scale range: 0-100 Habit scale range: 0-100 WTS (weighted total score) scale range: 0-100 Higher values represent a better outcome

The intervened children were provided classroom educational and playful activities during 5 months, which included Sesame Workshop Healthy Habits storybooks, posters, videos, games, and songs (1 hour daily); a "Healthy family day" workshop (1 hour); and weekly health notes. Parents participated in 3 workshops and weekly notes containing positive health messages about nutrition and active lifestyles to share with their children. Teachers also participated in 3 centralized training sessions, plus personalized working sessions with a research supervisor (2 hours every 15 days), and received a teacher's guide.
