Evaluating the KickAsh!-intervention’s effectiveness in preventing smoking among vulnerable Flemish adolescents
Adolescents experiencing societal vulnerability are at heightened risk of smoking uptake, exacerbating health disparities. To address this, the KickAsh!-intervention was co-created with adolescents and youth workers in Flanders, Belgium, using the intervention mapping protocol (IMP), aiming to prevent smoking uptake among 10- to 16-year-olds, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. This study evaluates its effectiveness on adolescents’…
Key considerations in applying youth participatory action research
Youth participatory action research (YPAR) can offer young people opportunities to develop research skills and leadership. While YPAR is increasingly applied across diverse contexts, data on the considerations that guide the design, facilitation and implementation of YPAR is scarce. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore academics’ and practitioners’ (i.e. non-academic professionals engaged in designing, facilitating or implementin…
Enabling sustainability through co-adaptation
Schools represent strategic settings for adolescent health promotion across multiple domains, including physical activity (PA). Despite the development of numerous effective programs, sustaining their impact within the school context remains a key challenge. This process evaluation explores how mechanisms, participant experiences, and contextual factors shaped the design, implementation and potential sustainability of the replicated Sigue la Huel…
School staff experiences on involvement in a co-creation process
School staff indicated that excessive demands outweigh the benefits experienced during the co-creation process. Therefore, school staff preferred less time-intensive processes. Improving students outcomes was school staff's motivation to be involved, which asks for processes with student-related goals and observable student benefits. Moreover, school staff needs to be acknowledged as an expert and valued for their involvement. These results shoul…

Psychosocial Determinants of Sleep Behavior and Healthy Sleep Among Adolescents
To date, it remains unknown which psychosocial determinants identified by several leading behavior change theories are associated with different sleep parameters among adolescents. Therefore, this study investigates whether changes in knowledge about healthy sleep, attitude toward healthy sleep and going to bed on time, self-efficacy to engage in healthy sleep behavior, perceived parental and peer norms, perceived barriers (e.g., worrying, fear o…
Smoking prevention within social work organizations
Tobacco smoking uptake is still a major public health concern, especially among youngsters living in vulnerable situations. Finding optimal ways to engage youngsters in smoking prevention is important. Compared to traditional settings such as schools, social work settings providing sports-based and recreational activities (SR-settings) tend to reach and engage youngsters more. This study aimed to gain insight into the reasons for smoking uptake a…
Psychosocial factors related to sleep in adolescents and their willingness to participate in the development of a healthy sleep intervention
Future interventions promoting healthy sleep in adolescents could focus on enhancing knowledge of sleep guidelines, sleep hygiene and the consequences of sleep deficiency, and on enhancing perceived behavioral control towards changing sleep. Interventions could also focus on prioritizing positive sleep attitudes over positive attitudes towards screen time, finding solutions for barriers towards healthy sleep and creating a positive perceived norm…

A Family-Based Lifestyle Intervention Focusing on Fathers and Their Children Using Co-Creation
Fathers play a unique and important role in shaping their children's physical activity (PA), independent from the mother. Lifestyle interventions focusing simultaneously on PA of fathers and their children ("co-PA") are therefore a novel and promising way to improve PA of both. A theory-based lifestyle intervention was co-created with fathers (i.e., the Run Daddy Run intervention), using the behavior change wheel as a theoretical framework. The a…

What do parents think about parental participation in school-based interventions on energy balance-related behaviours? a qualitative study in 4 countries
Parents want to be involved in activities related to energy balance-related behaviours if this implies 'doing things together' with their child at school or at home
The effect of the UP4FUN pilot intervention on objectively measured sedentary time and physical activity in 10–12 year old children in Belgium
The UP4FUN intervention did not result in an effect on children's sedentary time. Based on the high amounts of accelerometer-derived sedentary time in this age group, more efforts are needed to develop strategies to reduce children's sedentary time
Family- and school-based correlates of energy balance-related behaviours in 10–12-year-old children
Objective To identify family- and school-based correlates of specific energy balance-related behaviours (physical activity, sedentary behaviour, breakfast consumption, soft drink consumption) among 10–12-year-olds, using the EnRG framework (Environmental Research framework for weight Gain prevention). Design A literature review to identify observational studies exploring at least one family- or school-based correlate of the specific behaviours, r…
What practices do parents perceive as effective or ineffective in promoting a healthy diet, physical activity, and less sitting in children
Parents identified numerous perceived effective practices to respond to their child's health-related behavior. Since many of them coincide with the evidence base and the success of a parenting program depends upon the degree to which parents' concerns and motivations are integrated into the program design, important opportunities are created for future intervention programs
Family- and school-based predictors of energy balance-related behaviours in children
Objective To examine family- and school-based predictors of breakfast consumption, soft drink consumption and physical activity (PA) and moderating effects of gender and socio-economic status (SES). Design Longitudinal study (6-year follow-up), including a questionnaire about dietary and activity behaviour. Setting Fifty-nine Flemish elementary schools. Subjects Seven hundred and twenty-seven children (51·9 % girls, 51·9 % high SES, mean age 9·9 …
