Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is children*s vegetable acceptance. This will be assessed via two measures. First, children*s change in ad libitum intake of each vegetable taste between pre-test (baseline) and post-test will be compared between the intervention and control group. Secondly, the number of children that actually tasted each vegetable will be recorded at pre- and post-test and these frequencies will be compared between the two conditions. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Per individual child, adherence/ implementation measures will be done during the 5-month exposure period. For each child, during each exposure session, it will be recorded by the day care employees: - Whether the child was present yes/ no - Whether the child tasted the vegetables yes/ no - When the child tasted, how much the child consumed: minimal, medium, high (3 categories). | — |
