“…The Delphi method has been used in a variety of fields, including health care and education, to develop curriculum guidelines, professional standards, and to develop or validate measurement tools (Barr et al, 2014; Falzarano & Pinto Zipp, 2013; Marshall & Allegrante, 2017; Pinto et al, 2016). Further, the Delphi method has been used in school health to develop competency-based education for professionals caring for students with chronic conditions (Berget et al, 2019; Cicutto et al, 2017).…”

Data on school health policy implementation are limited due to the absence of a validated measurement tool. The purpose of this study was to create and pilot a school health policy implementation survey. A modified, four-round Delphi process was used to achieve consensus on content and format of the survey. The final 76-item survey was piloted in 655 schools with a return rate of 57.1% (n = 378). Seven schools participated in environmental audits. Based on the audits, survey responses represented an accurate description of school practices for 84.2% (n = 64) of questions. The remaining 15.8% (n = 12) of survey items were eliminated or revised. This measurement tool begins to fill the research gap between the evaluation of written school health policy and implementation. Further, this tool may be used by school nurses in alignment with the Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice.

“…The panel was asked to provide two ratings for each item in the survey; one on its importance and another on its feasibility for increasing uptake of parent education programs in educational settings. In line with previous Delphi consensus studies [48][49], five-point scales were used (1 = Essential/Very feasible, 2 = Important/Feasible, 3 = Don't know/ Depends, 4 = Unimportant/Not feasible, and 5 = Should not be included). The panelists had up to six weeks to complete the Round 1 survey (including time during a school winter break in Australia), six weeks to complete the Round 2 survey (including a school spring break), and two weeks to complete the Round 3 survey.…”

Parent education programs, offered via family-school partnerships, offer an effective means for promoting the mental health and educational functioning of children and adolescents at a whole-of-school level. However, these programs often have low uptake. This study aimed to identify strategies for increasing the uptake of parent education programs within preschool and school settings. A three-round Delphi procedure was employed to obtain expert consensus on strategies that are important and feasible in educational settings. First, thirty experts rated statements identified from the literature and a stakeholder forum. Next, experts re-appraised statements, including new statements generated from the first round. Ninety statements were endorsed by ≥ 80% of the experts. Primary themes include strategies for program selection, strategies for increasing the accessibility of programs and the understanding of educational staff on parent engagement and child mental health, strategies for program development, promotion, and delivery, as well as strategies for increasing parent and community engagement. This study offers a set of consensus strategies for improving the uptake of parent education programs within family-school partnership.
