Table 1 Overview process evaluation questions to calculate the process evaluation score (score on 26) for teachers

From: Effect and process evaluation of a kindergarten-based, family-involved cluster randomised controlled trial in six European countries on four- to six-year-old children’s steps per day: the ToyBox-study

 

Fidelity = whether the intervention was delivered as intended by the teachers and received by the children

Dose delivered = how much was delivered by the teachers and received by the children

Dose received – satisfaction = how the intervention was received by the teachers
