Implementation lessons for school food policies and marketing restrictions in the Philippines: a qualitative policy analysis
Globalization and Health, 2018Co-Authors: Erica Reeve, Anne Marie Thow, Katrin Engelhardt, Ella Cecilia Gamolo-naliponguit, John Juliard Go, Colin Bell, Gary SacksAbstract:Background The school environment can enhance children’s skills, knowledge and behaviours in relation to healthy eating. However, in many countries, unhealthy foods are commonly available in schools, and children can be exposed to aggressive marketing by the food industry. Taking the perspective of policymakers, this study aimed to identify barriers and enablers to effective school food policy development and Implementation in the Philippines. Methods In May 2016, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 policymakers and stakeholders involved in school food policymaking and Implementation in the Philippines. The Health Policy Analysis Triangle was used to identify interview questions and to guide the thematic analysis. These included the political and socio-environmental context, strengths and limitations of existing policy content, roles and behaviours of actors, Implementation processes, policy outcomes, and opportunities to improve policy coherence. Results The Department of Education’s policy ‘Orders’ represented a relatively strong policy framework for the education sector of the Philippines. However, a lack of human and financial resources for Implementation, Planning, and policy enforcement limited the impact of the policy on the healthiness of school food provision. Ambiguity in policy wording allowed a wide interpretation of the foods eligible to be provided in schools, and led to difficulties in effective monitoring and enforcement. Food companies used existing relationships with schools to promote their brands and compromise the establishment of a stronger food policy agenda. We found a motivated group of actors engaging in policy-oriented learning and advocating for a stronger policy alternative so as to improve the school food environment. Conclusions The adoption of policy mechanisms being used to promote healthy dietary practices in the school setting will be strengthened by more robust Implementation Planning processes, and resources to support Implementation and enforcement. Policymakers should ensure policy language clearly and unequivocally promotes healthier food and beverage options. Steps should be taken to achieve policy coherence by ensuring the objectives of one agency or institution are not undermining that of any others. Where there is reliance on the private sector for school resources, safeguards should be established to protect against conflicts of interest.

Implementation Planning to Promote Parents' Treatment Integrity of Behavioral Interventions for Children with Autism
Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation, 2015Co-Authors: Lindsay M. Fallon, Melissa A. Collier-meek, Lisa M. Hagermoser Sanetti, Adam B. Feinberg, Thomas R. KratochwillAbstract:Behavioral interventions delivered across home and school settings can promote positive outcomes for youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Yet, stakeholders who deliver these interventions may struggle to implement interventions as intended. Low levels of treatment integrity can undermine potentially positive intervention outcomes. One way to promote implementers' treatment integrity is Implementation Planning, a logistical Planning and barrier reduction strategy that is supported by emerging school-based research. The current study extended the research on Implementation Planning and evaluated the effectiveness of the strategy with parents implementing a behavioral intervention at home within a Conjoint Behavioral Consultation model. The behavioral intervention aimed to increase compliance and decrease aggression for two children with ASD at home. Initially, parents struggled to deliver the intervention consistently; however, after Implementation Planning, parents' treatment integrity increased and...

increasing teacher treatment integrity of behavior support plans through consultation and Implementation Planning
Journal of School Psychology, 2015Co-Authors: Lisa Hagermoser M Sanetti, Melissa A Colliermeek, Anna C J Long, Justin R Byron, Thomas R. KratochwillAbstract:School psychologists commonly provide intervention services to children through consultation with teachers. Data suggest, however, that many teacher consultees struggle to implement these interventions. There are relatively few evidence-based strategies for promoting teacher consultees' intervention Implementation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Implementation Planning as a strategy for increasing the adherence and quality with which teacher consultees implemented behavior support plans. Implementation Planning involves adapting intervention steps to the Implementation context, providing detailed logistical Planning, as well as identifying Implementation barriers and developing strategies to address them. Results indicated that teachers' Implementation adherence levels increased and quality levels increased with corresponding decreases in variability, compared to standard behavioral consultation. Implications for future research on treatment integrity are discussed.

using Implementation Planning to increase teachers adherence and quality to behavior support plans
Psychology in the Schools, 2014Co-Authors: Lisa Hagermoser M Sanetti, Melissa A Colliermeek, Anna C J Long, Jisun Kim, Thomas R. KratochwillAbstract:Evidence-based practices within a response-to-intervention framework must be implemented with adequate treatment integrity to promote student outcomes. However, research findings indicate educators struggle to implement interventions and logistical considerations may limit the utility of performance feedback, an evidence-based treatment integrity promotion strategy. This study evaluates the effect of Implementation Planning, a treatment integrity promotion strategy that includes detailed logistical Planning and barrier identification adapted from an adult behavior change theory from heath psychology (i.e., the Health Action Process Approach). A multiple baseline across participants design was used to evaluate teachers’ adherence to a behavior support plan as well as their quality of Implementation. Results indicated that after intervention training, adherence was initially low and variable, and quality of Implementation was moderate to high and variable, but both adherence and quality increased and became less variable after Implementation Planning. The increases in Implementation were more pronounced for two teachers, whose students also had subsequent improvements in their academic engagement and disruptive behavior. These findings highlight the relationship between adequate levels of treatment integrity and student outcomes as well as provide initial support for Implementation Planning.
