Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Investigators will pilot test the impact of an enhanced implementation strategy on implementation and child health outcomes using continuous formative evaluation. Investigators will test the hypothesis that better fidelity to the implementation strategy (WISE) is positively related to child outcomes (e.g., child fruit and vegetable intake, BMI).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Investigators will determine whether the enhanced strategy is feasible, acceptable, and demonstrates improved implementation, fidelity, and sustainability using a Hybrid Type 3 implementation design. Investigators expect that the effectiveness of WISE on child outcomes will vary by the level of implementation fidelity, and a Hybrid 3 design allows for us to explore this hypothesis).

Study Design

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Investigators will use a Type 3 Hybrid Design to test the effectiveness of the enhanced implementation strategy (i.e., facilitation) on uptake while also assessing impacts of the intervention on child outcomes. Investigators expect that the effectiveness of WISE on child outcomes will vary by the level of implementation fidelity, and a Hybrid 3 design allows for us to explore this hypothesis. RE-AIM provides an evaluation framework to assess key aspects of intervention programs implemented in real-word settings. Investigators will modify and use The Organizational Readiness to Change Assessment (ORCA) as developed for use with the i-PARiHS framework to assesses change commitment (e.g., We value this change) and change efficacy (e.g., We can keep the momentum going) both prior to and during implementation.
