  • Challenges in evaluating implementation and effectiveness in real-world settings

    Open AccessMarla T H Hahnraths, Maartje Willeboordse et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2023

    There are various research designs and approaches to investigate how health-promoting activities are implemented in complex, real-world systems, and to identify potential health effects that might occur following implementation. Although literature describes guidelines to perform and report about implementation research and effect evaluations, no specific guidelines exist on analysing and reporting about the combination of effectiveness data and …

  • Children’s Health Literacy in Relation to Their BMI z-Score, Food Intake, and Physical Activity

    Open AccessJany Rademakers, Marla T H Hahnraths et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Overweight and obesity in children are an increasing public health problem. Health literacy (HL) is a determinant of obesity and body mass index (BMI) rates in adults, but few studies have addressed the impact of children's own HL on their weight and lifestyle. In this study, we aim to assess the impact of Dutch children's HL on (1) their BMI z-score, (2) dietary behaviour, and (3) the amount of physical activity (PA) they engage in. A sample of …

  • Measuring and Exploring Children’s Health Literacy in The Netherlands

    Open AccessMarla T H Hahnraths, Monique Heijmans et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    As health literacy (HL) is hypothesized to develop throughout life, enhancement during childhood will improve HL and health during life. There are few valid, age-appropriate tools to assess children's HL. The German-language European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire Adapted for Children (HLS-Child-Q15-DE) is a self-report questionnaire adapted from the adult European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire. This study aims to translate the HLS-C…

    Both child-to-adult intergenerational learning and parent-initiated changes play an important role in the transfer of health behaviours from school to home and are therefore key mechanisms to maximise school-based health-promoting interventions' impact
