Implementation strategies used in policy, systems, and environmental interventions addressing obesity-related outcomes in early childhood education settings: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) approaches, including those enacted in early childhood education (ECE) settings, can improve child health outcomes. The use of implementation strategies, or the ways in which these approaches are enacted across settings, may modify intervention impact. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to examine the implementation strategies used among interventions utilizing PSE approaches in the ECE setting.

Methods

Seven databases including MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE, were searched for interventions in ECE settings including children (0-6 years) that utilized ≥ 1 PSE approach. Eligible studies included either a child-level outcome (i.e., weight, physical activity, or diet) or an environmental outcome (i.e., nutr
