1 Percentage RESULTS (Unpublished Data) Comparative Analysis of Baseline, Intermediate and End line Data - Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) Survey The impact of two year intervention was assessed through repeated surveys (KAP) with the study participants before the beginning of the intervention (baseline survey), at the midpoint of the intervention (intermediate survey) and after completion of the intervention (end line survey). 1. SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PARTICIPANTS The analysis was based on 2263 students who participated in atleast one of the surveys in the study (baseline, intermediate and end line). The socio-demographic characteristics of these students is depicted in Figure 1. Out of 2263 students, 63% represent boys and 37% represent girls. The study participants varied from different age groups, with 8.6% of 10 years and below, 39.6% of 11 years, 35.4% of 12 years and 16.4% of 13 years and above. School type wise, 56.7% of study participants were from private schools, which cater to middle and high socio-economic status (SES) and 43.3% from government schools, which cater to middle and low SES Boys Girls Private Government 6th 7th 8th 9th Gender Age (Years) School Type Class Figure 1: Socio-demographic characteristics of the students (n= 2263) 1
2 2. MEASURES Knowledge about eating habits, overweight/obesity and diabetes, average serving per day of food items and physical activity were main outcome variables. Variables related to students attitude, practice towards their eating and physical activity behaviours were also considered as outcomes. The socio-demographic variables analysed were gender, age, school-type and class. A summative scale score was also created for knowledge level of students that included 20 questions on diet, physical activity, overweight/obesity and diabetes. These questions were recoded as 0 for wrong answer, and 1 for Don t know/not Sure and 2 for correct answer. Only those students, who answered for atleast 80% questions, were considered for the analysis. Values of Cronbach s alpha were calculated to check the consistency of the scales (alpha for knowledge at baseline = 0.66, at intermediate = 0.70 and at end line = 0.65). The values of Cronbach s alpha suggest that all the knowledge scales were fairly consistent. Responses of practice and attitude related questions like, How often do you eat breakfast?, During the lunch break at school, I usually have food from, We eat out in a restaurant or order food from outside, I eat vegetables and fruits, Every day I do physical activity/ exercise of play for, were recoded as ordinal variables (the options are rearranged in ascending order). Also responses of questions, During my leisure time, I mostly, During the games period in schools, I mostly, If the meal is tasty, I prefer to eat even if my stomach feels full, I like to have all meals at a fixed time, I feel it is OK to have fried snacks in between main meals, etc. were converted into binary variables. For individual knowledge related questions only the correct answers are presented in the results. Frequency table is provided for the questions included in the end line survey only. 3. DATA ANALYSIS Descriptive statistics were calculated for the demographic distribution of the data. Per day serving for all food items was calculated. All the students who participated in the study over three years were included in the analysis. Since, some of the students were not present in all the three surveys, generalized linear models were applied to compare the proportion of students at each survey who had correct knowledge about each item related to healthy diet, physical activity, overweight/obesity and diabetes. 95% confidence intervals (CI) were also provided for these proportions. To assess the trend in overall mean knowledge per student over the three years the same model was used. Students practice and attitude related questions were compared through Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) using ordinal logit function for ordinal data and simple logit function for binary responses. For the ease of interpretation, students responses at each time point were presented in percentages instead of the results obtained from the GEE, though p values from GEE were presented to show the statistical significance of the change in students practice and attitude. Here, the percentages were not directly compared. Change in mean per day servings of food items consumed by students were compared through generalized linear models. Only descriptive 2
3 Mean Knowledge Score statistics were provided for Section D (Advocacy for adopting healthy lifestyle practices) which is included only in the end line survey. All the comparisons were considered significant at 5% level of significance. All the analysis was done using SAS V KNOWLEDGE Figure 2 show the comparison of knowledge scores of students between baseline, intermediate and end line survey. Overall the mean knowledge score was significantly higher at end line (15.48) than at intermediate (14.99) and at baseline (13.95) (p<0.001). This significant increasing trend in knowledge score from baseline to end line was observed across all the sub-groups of different socio-demographic variables. The change in knowledge score among girls was significantly more than boys. Also, the change in knowledge score among private school students was significantly more than government school students Overall Boys Girls Private Government 6th 7th Gender Age (Years) School Type Class Baseline Intermediate End line Figure 2: Comparison of mean knowledge scores of students between Baseline, Intermediate and End line (n= 2263) Knowledge about dietary/eating habits Overall, 88.3% of students at baseline reported that having a balanced diet is essential while 95.7% of the students reported the same at end line (p<0.001).
