Tomeasure KCP acceptability according to the 31 school staff,we calculated theirmean five-point ratings for various KCP components ‘‘for long-term application throughout the school year’’.
Highest acceptability ratings were given to the program options of the three weight management behaviors as targets (FVFIRST, HDRINK, and EXERCISE), children wearing nametags, star-shaped
holes punched into nametags as token rewards, weekly Reward Days, inclusion of Parent Records to report children’s behaviors in the home environment, and parent volunteers delivering the
program. Least acceptable program options were pedometers (which children forgot, lost, or broke), and the use of busy school staff themselves to deliver the program. Finally, when asked to report the overall acceptability of the KCP ‘‘for long-term application,’’ the school staff have a mean rating of 3.8 (SD = .9)
