Interventions

  • Out of School Time Coach (OST-Coach) — BEHAVIORAL
    Four data coaching session (investigate, design, practice, reflect) will be conducted over an academic year. Each session will involve: a customized site level data report, goal setting and implementing strategies to address child physical activity, motor competence, and staff physical activity promoting behaviors.

Study Details

The goal of this study is to determine whether a data coaching process called Out of School Time Coach (OST-Coach) can increase child physical activity (PA) behavior, perceived motor competence, and staff PA-promoting practices. Aim 1: Determine the impact that the OST-Coach intervention has on child PA behavior and perceived motor competence. The investigators hypothesize that integrating a targeted data coaching system will increase the amount of PA children engage in during the OST program and enhance their perceived motor competence compared to sites receiving standard practice. Aim 2: Assess the impact of the OST-Coach intervention on staff PA-promoting practices. The investigators will measure the effectiveness of the OST-Coach intervention by observing staff behavior and assessing their willingness to integrate evidence-based practices during OST programming. It is hypothesized that OST leaders at intervention sites will implement more PA-promoting practices. Child physical activity will be measured via systematic observation and a survey assessing perceived motor competence. Staff PA-promoting behaviors will be observed via systematic observation and evaluated through a survey to understand the impact of the data coaching process. The intervention is delivered at the staff level, with feedback provided four times throughout the academic year.

Arms

  • Experimental: Intervention Arm (OST-Coach)
    Intervention arm (OST-Coach) will receive four data coaching sessions on the data collected at intervention sites. Data will be compiled into a data report and then shared back to the site leaders. Data coaching sessions will follow IDPR principles, first session (investigate), second session (design), third session (practice) and fourth session reflect).
  • No Intervention: Control Arm (Standard Practice)
    Sites will not receive OST-Coach intervention but will receive data reports.

Primary Outcome Measure

Child Physical Activity [ Time Frame: Through study completion, 1 year. ]
