A total of 51 stakeholders (27 of intervention and 24 of control schools) started the stakeholders’ questionnaire at baseline. Eleven cases were excluded as they did not fill out the questionnaire at follow-up. Seven cases were excluded due to incomplete questionnaires. In conclusion, thirty-three stakeholders (17 from intervention and 16 from control schools, 1–3 per school) could be enrolled (response rate 64.7%) to analyse the changes in factors affecting implementation. In both the intervention and control group, their roles were: employee at school, as health care coordinator, teacher or facility manager (64.7% vs. 56.3%); employee at a caterer (17.6%, vs. 25.0%); director of a caterer (11.8% vs. 18.8%); or a community health promoter (5.9% vs. 0%). No community health promoters were involved in the control schools, as they wanted to be involved after the research. Some catering companies cater canteens in multiple schools. Stakeholders involved in multiple intervention or control schools (n = 4), filled out the questionnaire only once. However, as one catering employee was involved in intervention and control schools, this response was taken into account in both groups, as the experiences were derived from intervention and control schools.
