2 Brief Literature review

Obesity has become a major cause of preventable morbidity and mortality worldwide (World Health Organisation, 2004). In the UK alone, between

1995 and 2006, there has been a rising trend in the prevalence of childhood obesity. Among boys aged 2 to 15, the proportion deemed ‘obese’ increased overall from 10.9% in 1995 to 17.3% in 2006, and among girls from 12.0% to 14.7%. Furthermore as of 2006, 29.7% of children aged 2 to

15 were classed as ‘overweight’ or ‘obese’. Equivalent figures for boys and girls among this age group were 30.6% and 28.7% respectively (Office for

National Statistics, 2008). The financial burden of this rise in obesity was approximated as £1 billion in 2002, although alarmingly it is predicted that this figure may rise further to £5.3 billion by 2025 (Office for National

Statistics, 2008).

In response to this increasing prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents, numerous interventions with the potential to reduce obesity levels or associated risk of chronic diseases in children and youth have been implemented in a variety of settings (Flynn et al., 2006; Goran, 1997;

Steinberger & Daniels, 2003). A percentage of these programmes have been carried out under well controlled conditions, and thus provide valid conclusions regarding the effectiveness of interventions. Some however have yet to be fully evaluated in peer reviewed outcome focused publications which suggests additions to the evidence base are urgently needed (see table 1).

4 A number of systematic reviews and critical appraisals have also been undertaken with the aim of determining optimal interventions for both preventing and treating obesity in children and adolescents (Van Sluijs,

McMinn, & Griffin, 2007). A large scale synthesis review from Flynn and colleagues (2006) collated 13,158 studies relating to obesity in children and youth. These studies were reduced to a body of 158 articles for further analysis, with the intention of producing ‘best practice recommendations’. A number of key findings were presented; in particular the majority of obesity intervention programmes outcomes at least in the short term indicated change towards improvement, thus supporting continued action. Critically it was noted that engagement in physical activity in school based interventions is to be encouraged. Indeed clear associations were found between increased physical activity and improvement in chronic disease risk status in both secondary and primary schools, which concurs with current recommendations (American Institute of Medicine, 2004). Further findings suggested that the setting of the intervention was paramount, with the school setting identified as pivotal.

Clearly both the setting and intervention component used are key elements in an effective intervention programme. Shaya et al. (2008) conducted a review of school-based obesity intervention programmes. Fifty-one studies across all school ages were selected for further analysis. Importantly the study concluded that no persistence of positive results in reducing measures of obesity in school-age children were observed, however a number of interesting points were highlighted. Firstly that whilst short-term 5 interventions lasting less than 6 months have displayed positive statistically significant results in reducing outcome measures such as blood pressure and cardiovascular fitness (Wilson et al., 2005), there is no conclusive evidence for changes in body composition. Thus studies employing long- term follow-up measurements are needed. Furthermore it was noted that physical activity-geared interventions illustrated the greatest efficacy for reducing obesity-related measures (Shaya et al., 2008).

Whilst the school setting is an effective setting to target, several reviews have evaluated family based weight intervention programmes (Boon &

Clydesdale, 2005). Berry et al. (2004) identified 13 multi-component family based interventions. The review found that multi-component interventions for obese children (using behavioural interventions, nutrition education, and exercise) with or without parental involvement had varied outcomes. When parents and children were seen together, one of the parents, the children and the parents, or the children lost weight. Furthermore both behavioural modification and behavioural therapy interventions were reported to be relatively successful in improving weight-loss outcomes in both parents and children. Whilst the studies displayed some evidence of positive changes in weight status, the challenge to develop an ‘effective’ intervention that takes into account differences in age, environment and culture across the whole family remains (Berry et al., 2004).

Encouragingly results from the latest Cochrane review (Luttikhuis et al.,

2009) showed that 18 of 64 intervention programmes systematically 6 reviewed demonstrated beneficial effects on child and youth adiposity from baseline to end of intervention or follow up. The most effective interventions combined dietary, physical activity and behavioural components, and parental involvement was recognised as an important feature of behavioural programmes. The authors also gave a number of key recommendations regarding future research: in particular appropriate short- and long-term outcomes need to be defined for children and youth at various weight levels, rather than using conventional or adult-oriented outcomes (Luttikhuis et al.,

2009). It was also reported that qualitative research should be employed within interventions to create an evidence base of the views of participants, as well as providers, potentially highlighting why interventions may be more, or less successful (Luttikhuis et al., 2009).

Despite the evidence presented in these review articles, it is unlikely that the findings for ‘best practice’ can be directly extrapolated from one population to another. The practicalities of delivering effective advice and intervention to obese children and adolescents will vary with the wide span of social, ethnic and economic circumstances, as well as with the many variations in available resources (Luttikhuis et al., 2009). Likewise, it important to take into account the age and cognitive ability of the target intervention group.

Children’s conception and understanding of health has been shown to change with age (Altman and Revenson, 2005) and so the aims of health promotion initiatives directed at children and young people cannot be assumed to be the same as those targeted at adults (Moore, 1999).

7 In sum, recent systematic reviews and critical appraisal exercises have consistently concluded that the evidence on interventions to treat paediatric obesity is extremely limited. A review of 61 controlled trials concluded that the long-term efficacy of paediatric obesity treatment remains unclear and as yet there is limited evidence to support the short-term efficacy of lifestyle interventions (Mcgovern et al., 2008). The large majority of intervention evaluations have been methodologically weak and focused on short term outcomes. In light of this there is need for more ecological studies carried out from an interdisciplinary perspective, with the intention of addressing these issues from a family and child perspective.

Aims of the Evaluation

This project will take an interdisciplinary perspective in order to evaluate a number of family based intervention programmes currently in place in the

West midlands, as specified by Birmingham Women’s NHS Foundation

Trust (BWFT), namely:

i Watch It: Birmingham and Solihull (7-13 year olds) ii YW8: Telford and Wrekin (8-13 year olds) iii Carnegie: Fun for Life – Walsall ( 8-16 year olds) iv MEND: Birmingham; Herefordshire; Sandwell; Shropshire; North

Staffordshire; Stoke on Trent; Walsall; Warwickshire:

Wolverhampton; Worcestershire; Coventry, Dudley (7-13 year olds) v Goals: Sandwell (9-13 year olds) vi One Body One Life: Coventry (no age specified) 8 The key question specified by BWTF is ‘Does the programme work and at what cost?’ In order to answer this question fully, the research will determine the following:

 The benefits to participating (a) children and (b) families in terms

of health improvement and behaviour change;

 Possible barriers to change for (a) children and (b) families

undertaking treatment programmes;

 The range of short and longer term support available for

programme participants;

 The cost effectiveness of each intervention.

Method

Design

The research team will apply a multi-method strategy to include:

 an audit of the Standard Evaluation Framework (SEF) essential and

desirable data collected by each intervention programme. Audit is a

useful investigative tool, which makes use of available records to

provide objective, anonymous data in an efficient and cost effective

manner (Mathieson and Upton, 2007). Data will be audited in terms

of what information is collected as well as considering the

implications of the data in terms of the impact of the intervention on

child and family health and well-being;

9  a review of programme materials, including the theoretical rationale

and evidence base for each intervention programme;

 an economic evaluation of the interventions.

This will allow the team to fulfil the project deliverables as outlined below

(see table 2), whilst providing a rich and informative evaluation study.

Whilst this document outlines the anticipated research design, the overall ethos of the project team would be to take a co-generative approach with close cooperation, mutual informing and learning between external evaluators and stakeholders during the evaluation process.

11 Sample

All families seen by the participating service in a specified time period. This time period will be determined based on the collation of all available data across study services. Following consideration of the temporal pattern a decision will be made regarding the current and optimal intervention plan.

Procedure

Data provided by the study commissioner will be entered into a systematic database developed by the research assistant under the supervision of the study team. The audit of this data will allow the following outputs from the evaluation:

Commentary on measures

Assessment of the range of data collected by each of the intervention teams will provide valuable information concerning the extent to which interventions follow the best practice model provided by the Standard Evaluation Framework. Information concerning the feasibility (including barriers to data collection) of collecting desirable as well as essential data will be sought from key personnel in order to provide qualitative data concerning measures used. This will allow the assessment of which measures should be routinely used in practice and so allow the creation of an interoperable design for the database used by all interventions locally, as well as informing recommendations for Key Performance Indicators.

Review of programmes

Each programme will be evaluated firstly in terms of the programme details (who is the target group, how good are recruitment and retention rates, what is the demographic profile of client 12 group and so on). In addition, the effectiveness of the programme for weight management will be considered. This will be undertaken by the assessment of differences between baseline and follow up data concerning physiological, behavioural and psychological measures where available. Routine practice concerning support for participants once they have completed the intervention programme will be audited against the recommendations made in the programme design.

Economic evaluation

A cost consequences analysis will be undertaken as part of the research. The costs of implementing the intervention will be assessed and compared with the benefits generated from the use of the intervention measured by key evaluation data.

Data will be collected from programme providers regarding the costs associated with the training of staff to administer the intervention, and any other perceived additional costs to the service in terms of staff time, salaries, purchasing of materials and so on. The estimated cost per child of the intervention will be compared to the actual cost per intervention run.

Data relating to benefits will be drawn from the information routinely kept by intervention staff, such as child weight/body composition, dietary behaviour and so on. Comparison of measures at baseline and follow-up will provide an indicator of the intervention’s benefits.

13 Critical review of programmes

Programme materials and associated literature will be evaluated for evidence of effectiveness and appropriateness of intervention methods for use with the target populations.

Comparison of effectiveness of programmes

A comparison will be made of the effectiveness of each of the programmes on a range of indicators as outlined above, including recruitment and retention, economic costs, and physiological, behavioural and psychological outcomes.

Analysis

Quantitative data obtained from the audit will be evaluated using appropriate statistical analysis, utilising SPSS software. Parametric or non-parametric statistical tests will be chosen depending on the data collected. Any available qualitative data will be analysed using appropriate discourse and content analysis.

The economic evaluation will consist of an assessment of the costs associated with the use of the intervention and the benefits generated as a result of its use.

Quality assurance

The evaluation will be quality assured by:

(i) Ensuring adherence to the principles of Research Governance, as laid out in the

Framework Health and Social Care (Department of Health, 2005).

14 (ii) Prioritizing ethical considerations and ensuring that all research activities are performed in accordance with the principles of ethical behaviour, with specific reference to the guidance provided by the National Research Ethics Service (NRES), the Worcester University Ethics

Committee and the British Psychology Society’s ethical code of conduct

(http://www.bps.org.uk/the-society/ethics-rules-charter-code-of-conduct/code-of- conduct/code-of-conduct_home.cfm).

(iii) Appropriate management of the project, in order to assure that the conduct and output of the research team is of high quality.

(iv) Safeguarding the transparency of the research process through the maintenance of a meticulous and easily accessible audit trail throughout the project.

Research governance

In line with the principles of research governance, the evaluation will abide by the ethical principles underpinning the Declaration of Helsinki and good practice guidelines on current proper conduct or research. Specifically, the security and confidentiality of participant data, will be assured; all information gathered for the study will therefore be managed according to the principles established in the Data Protection Act 1998. The following section details the practical ways in which research governance principles will be adhered to.

Ethics

This evaluation falls under the remit of audit rather than research as it concerns a quality improvement process, which is intended to investigate what is being done rather than what should be done (Wade 2005). However, the research team are cognisant of the need to

15 ensure that the standards of audit in terms of design, data collection, and analysis should be at least as high as for research. Thus whilst there is no requirement in terms of research governance to seek ethical approvals from the NRES, the project will seek ethical approval for the evaluation from the Institute of Health and Society research ethics committee,

University of Worcester.

In line with standard ethical principles and requirements of research governance, the anonymity and confidentiality of informants will be assured at all times. All data generated by the evaluation will be treated confidentially, reported anonymously and stored in accordance with the Data Protection Act (1998).

For the surveys, potential respondents will be provided with information outlining the nature of the project and informed consent will be inferred from submission of a completed questionnaire. Where more in-depth data is collected through focus groups or interviews, written informed consent will be taken. All participants will be made aware of their right to withdraw from the study at any time, without explanation.

Timeplan

The project will commence in March 2009 and last for 6 months. The key project milestones are:

Weeks 1-4: Set-up phase: appropriate approvals; contact with key personnel; planning

for data collection; set up data bases;

Weeks 5-12: Collect audit data; commence quantitative data entry into SPSS;

Weeks 13-17: Data analysis and interpretation;

Weeks 15-20: Design interoperable database

16 Weeks 5-20: Programme literature review;

Weeks 21-26: writing reports and initial dissemination.

The project Steering Group will be provided with monthly summary update reports. As required by the project deliverables, a detailed interim report will be provided half way through the project (June 2009), and a final project report upon completion of the project

(September 2009).

A Gantt chart detailing this timeline is provided in appendix 1

Dissemination

It is envisaged that dissemination will be rolled out at a number of levels in order to access the widest possible audience. At a more academic level this will include the final report prepared for the commissioning body, which should be cascaded down to interested parties such as the Association for the Study of Obesity and the West Midlands Obesity PSA group.

A presentation at a forthcoming meeting of the West Midlands Obesity PSA group will also be undertaken as outlined in the project deliverables. Other dissemination anticipated at this tier includes presentations at conferences and publications in a range of interdisciplinary journals such as the British journal of Nutrition, International Journal of Pediatric Obesity,

Health Promotion International and Journal of Health Psychology.

Dissemination at the point of delivery should also be seen as a priority, which would include summary information for intervention providers, commissioners, and any other interested parties. Both paper and online dissemination is planned in order to reach the widest possible audience.

17 Costings

Based on discussions with the University’s Finance department it is estimated that the total

cost of the project would be £79,835.00. A breakdown of these figures is given in table 3.

CVs for the project team can be found in appendix 2.

A full time research assistant (Kazia Solowiej) will also be employed for the duration of the project. Dedicated exclusively to this project, the research assistant will be expected to 20 undertake routine project tasks under the supervision of the project team. This will include liaising with the appropriate intervention programme staff in order to ensure delivery of audit data.

An admin assistant (Julia Mathias) will also be employed for two days a week. She will undertake routine administrative tasks including filing, arranging appointments and meetings as necessary. She will also be able to assist with the study outputs including word processed and electronic reports.

In addition to these core team members, the team will draw on the skills and expertise of health care professionals from across the Institute In order to facilitate delivery of a high quality project, with each element of the project harnessing the skills of individual team/Institute personnel as appropriate.

21 Risks to project

It is recognised that every research project is vulnerable to elements of uncertainty, and successful outcomes may therefore be threatened. The ability to understand risks and manage them effectively is therefore an important ingredient for successful project delivery.

To this end the team has identified a number of risks to the proposed evaluation and put in place a risk management strategy/response. These risks and responses are outlined in table

4. Each risk has also been rated on the likelihood of its occurrence and the potential impact on the project. Ratings are made on a scale of 1-5, where a score of 5 indicates the highest likelihood/impact.

23 Conclusion

The audit strategy proposed for this evaluation aims to reach an in-depth understanding of complex phenomena, by using methods which increase the breadth, complexity, and depth of the inquiry, whilst still maintaining its rigour (Denzin and Lincoln, 2003). It is expected that by gathering data from different sources – e.g. programme details, physiological measurements, behavioural changes - we will be better able to understand the ways in which the intervention has impacted on the child, the family and the organisation delivering the intervention. Furthermore, this has the potential not only to evaluate the current status of intervention, but also to increase their effectiveness by providing evidence regarding how provision might be improved further.

The methods selected draw on the skills and experiences of the project team. Team expertise includes both quantitative (e.g. analysis of information from data bases) and qualitative methods. We also have experience of successfully engaging key stake holders in the research process and of talking to stake holders at all levels of the tier from practitioners through to executives.

Team members are established researchers who have successfully completed of a range of evaluative studies in the public sector for both education and health services across the UK, a number of which have had an impact on services internationally. For example members of our team were commissioned to undertake the evaluation of an all-Wales Clinical effectiveness initiative by the Welsh Assembly Government. We have also undertaken an evaluation of the development and use of online teaching and learning resources (including

Virtual Learning Environments) for health care students. This included a survey of the 24 experiences of both students and their mentors. Both of these projects included professionals from across the healthcare services for example consultant medics, nurses and midwives, dieticians, podiatrists, microbiologists, biochemists and so forth. More recently an evaluation of innovative Primary Care based Services for vulnerable adults was successfully undertaken. Furthermore, we are currently undertaking an evaluation of the Support and

Development Scheme for Allied Health Professionals for NHS Education for Scotland.
