Resiliency of the Comprehensive School Health Approach in Canadian Schools Throughout the Covid ‐19 Pandemic
BACKGROUND: Comprehensive School Health (CSH) is a whole school approach to promote healthy school communities. The objective of this study was to understand if and how schools that take a CSH approach (i.e., APPLE Schools) sustained and adapted their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. CONTRIBUTIONS TO PRACTICE: This qualitative study highlighted teaching staff and principals' perspectives to showcase the ways that health and wellbeing support…

Fifteen health promotion practices delivered in 87 schools acr…

Such research is important as it helps to support and bolster the CSH framework that has been shown to improve the education, health, and well-being of school-aged children
