  • Implementation support structure for the Dutch Health Promoting School program

    Open AccessGerjanne Vennegoor, Patricia van Assema et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2025

    Support structures are available to schools worldwide for the implementation of Health Promoting School (HPS) programs. To get more insight in these structures, this multiple case study aimed to map variation in levels of support within eight Public Health Service (PHS) regions in the Netherlands and associations with contextual factors. Designed together with a Community of Practice, the study included two rounds of semistructured group intervie…

  • Key contextual factors in implementing whole-school health promotion within Dutch schools

    Open AccessGerjanne Vennegoor, Patricia van Assema et al.ARTICLEHealth Education2025

    Purpose Contextual factors can influence the implementation of whole-school health promotion and compromise its impact among students. This study aimed to identify key (combinations of) contextual factors in the implementation of whole-school health promotion at Dutch primary, secondary and secondary vocational schools. Design/methodology/approach Forty-three schools with either a high or low degree of implementation were selected. Data were coll…

  • To What Extent Do Young Adults Meet the Five Needs for Independence? A Latent Class Analysis

    Open AccessEsther M A Geurts, Anne K Smit et al.ARTICLEEmerging Adulthood2024

    Young adults determined five needs which must be met to transition to adulthood: support, housing, study and work, income, and well-being. This study aimed to identify and describe subgroups of young adults and determine to what extent they meet the needs for independence, and to assess relations between subgroups and demographic characteristics. We conducted secondary data analysis of a population-based questionnaire, which included 2291 young a…

  • Experiences of policy-advisors in capacity, opportunity and motivation for implementing local tobacco control

    Open AccessSophie J A Jooren, Gemma Geuke et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Municipalities and local public health departments may contribute to tobacco control by creating smoke-free areas and offering services to help people stop smoking. The national government of the Netherlands could support local governments by providing clearer guidelines on creating smoke-free spaces and on how to improve local smoking cessation support services

  • School health promotion and fruit and vegetable consumption in secondary schools

    Open AccessLisanne Vonk, Iris Eekhout et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    School population characteristics explained more variation between schools than Healthy School certification and general school characteristics, especially indicators of parental socioeconomic status. Nevertheless, Healthy School certification seemed to be slightly related to fruit and vegetable consumption, and might contribute to healthier dietary intake. We found small differences for some subgroups, but future research should focus on the imp…

  • Fidelity, adaptation and integration of whole-school health promotion within Dutch schools

    Open AccessGerjanne Vennegoor, Patricia van Assema et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2023

    Implementing comprehensive health promotion programs in the school setting can be challenging, as schools can be considered complex adaptive systems. As a first step towards understanding what works in improving implementation for which schools and under which conditions, this study aimed to examine the degree of implementation of health promoting school (HPS) programs, in terms of five dimensions of fidelity (adherence, dose, participant respons…

  • School health promotion and the consumption of water and sugar-sweetened beverages in secondary schools

    Open AccessLisanne Vonk, Iris Eekhout et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    The low percentages of explained variation indicate that school-level characteristics in general (including Healthy School certification) do not matter substantially for the daily consumption of water and sugar-sweetened beverages. Future research should examine whether school health promotion can contribute to healthier lifestyles, and if so, under which level of implementation and school conditions

  • I have discovered how to have faith in my students’

    Open AccessEsther M A Geurts, Rianne P Reijs et al.ARTICLECitizenship Social and Economics…2023Referências: 9

    Although the curriculum ideally serves the interests of its recipients, student perspectives have been marginalised in curriculum negotiation. Our objective is to better meet the needs and wishes of vocational education students by including them in planning, acting/observing and reflecting on the citizenship education curriculum. In this participatory action research project students were made responsible for designing, developing and delivering…

  • Do parenting practices moderate the association between the physical neighbourhood environment and changes in children’s time spent at various physical activity levels? An exploratory longitudinal stu…

    Open AccessSanne Gerards, Sanne M P L Gerards et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Besides the main effects of walkability and logistic support, there were indications that several parenting practices moderate the association between the physical environment and changes in children's time in various PA levels. The current findings are exploratory, and need to be confirmed in further research

  • Quantitative health impact assessment methodology for societal initiatives

    Open AccessLaurens M Reumers, Laurens Reumers et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Impact Assessment…2021

    Health initiatives are increasingly situated outside the institutionalised public health sector. The intersectoral character of societal initiatives, along with indirect relationships between initiatives and health, makes making projections of reach, impact and goal achievement complex. This scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature searches for appropriate methods to conduct quantitative health impact assessment for such initiatives. Databa…

  • Implementation of Keigaaf in Primary Schools

    Open AccessSacha Verjans-Janssen, Sanne Gerards et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    School health promotion is advocated. Implementation studies on school health promotion are less often conducted as effectiveness studies and are mainly conducted conventionally by assessing fidelity of "one size fits all" interventions. However, interventions that allow for local adaptation are more appropriate and require a different evaluation approach. We evaluated a mutual adaptation physical activity and nutrition intervention implemented i…

  • Does Stimulating Physical Activity Affect School Performance

    Open AccessBart H H Golsteyn, Bart Golsteyn et al.ARTICLEJournal of Policy Analysis and…2019

    This paper investigates whether encouraging children to become more physically active in their everyday life affects their primary school performance. We use data from a field quasi‐experiment called the Active Living Program, which aimed to increase active modes of transportation to school and active play among 8‐ to 12‐year‐olds living in low socioeconomic status (SES) areas in the Netherlands. Difference‐in‐differences estimations reveal that …

  • The Healthy Primary School of the Future

    Open AccessNina Bartelink, Patricia van Assema et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    Background: Schools can play an important role in promoting children's health behaviours. A Dutch initiative, 'The Healthy Primary School of the Future', aims to integrate health and well-being into the school system. We use a contextual action-oriented research approach (CARA) to study the implementation process. Properties of CARA are its focus on contextual differences and the use of monitoring and feedback to support and evaluate the process …

  • Development of a collaborative model to improve school health promotion in the Netherlands

    Open AccessMariken Leurs, Mariken T W Leurs et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2005

    In recent decades, school health promotion programs have been developing into whole-school health approaches. This has been accompanied by a greater understanding among health promoters of the core-business of schools, namely education, and how health promotion objectives can be integrated into this task. Evidence of the positive impact of school health promotion on health risk behavior of students is increasing. This article focuses on the proce…
