How participation in health promotion affects peer-experts and experts-by-experience from vulnerable neighborhoods
Residents of vulnerable neighborhoods often experience economic hardship, poor health, and social exclusion. Health promotion in vulnerable neighborhoods is often unsuccessful due to residents’ mistrust toward professionals and governmental institutions and misaligned interventions. Engaging experts-by-experience and peer-experts, people drawing on lived experience to support others, offers a promising means to overcome these hurdles. While this …
Understanding metabolic bariatric surgery stigma through the lived experiences of Dutch women
Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective treatment for severe obesity, yet patients often face stigma related to both obesity and MBS, complicating their treatment experience. Despite its significance, MBS stigma remains under-theorized in research. This study applies a socio-ecological stigma framework to explore how MBS stigma is experienced by patients in the Netherlands. Using qualitative methods, we conducted semi-structured intervi…
A participatory systems approach in community health promotion
To address the complexity and multi-level dynamics in health promotion, participatory and systems approaches have recently gained attention. We combined these into a participatory systems approach, which actively involves stakeholders in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of health promotion initiatives. This approach promotes cross-sector collaboration, shared understanding, joint decision-making, empowerment, and acknowledges the dyna…

Exploring experiences with stressors and coping resources among Dutch socioeconomic groups during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 crisis impacts populations globally. This impact seems to differ for groups with low- and high-socioeconomic status (SES). We conducted a qualitative study in the Netherlands using a salutogenic perspective to examine experiences with stressors and coping resources during the pandemic among both SES groups to gain insight on how to promote the health and well-being of these groups. We conducted 10 focus group discussions and 20 inter…
Intersectoral collaboration in a Dutch community health promotion programme
In health promotion programmes (HPP), it is crucial to have intersectoral collaboration within coalitions and to build networks between health and other societal sectors. A health broker role is recognized as being helpful in connecting the coalition with the broader network, and participatory action research (PAR) is deemed supportive because it facilitates evaluation, reflection, learning and action. However, there is a lack of insight into how…
Experiences of resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic
Resilience to adverse events is increasingly recognized as important for human health. Socio-economic status (SES) is also frequently identified as a predictor of resilience. However, it is not yet clear how people define resilience in their everyday lives, and whether individuals have different experiences of resilience based on their SES. This study sought to fill these gaps, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and pandemic mitigation polic…
Health Promotion Values Underlying Healthy Eating Strategies in The Netherlands
Healthy eating strategies are a large focus of research, practice, and policy in the Netherlands to improve the diets of socioeconomically disadvantaged populations (SDPs) and reduce health inequalities. However, the fundamental values of the health professionals that develop, implement, and evaluate healthy eating strategies are not explicit. Understanding and challenging these values may be an important step in aligning and improving efforts to…
Barriers and Facilitators for Patient-Centered Care for Hospitalized Covid Patients
The COVID pandemic has challenged patient-centeredness, an increasingly valued approach in the pursuit of high-quality care. This research aimed to explore barriers and facilitators for patient-centered care (PCC) in the context of the COVID pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven ex-hospitalized COVID patients and ten health care professionals (HCPs) who have cared for this patient group. A phenomenological design was used…
The positive impact of a care–physical activity initiative for people with a low socioeconomic status on health, quality of life and societal participation
X-Fittt 2.0 improved the health, QoL and societal participation of the participants. Future initiatives should take into account the aforementioned barriers, and consider a longer intervention period for more sustainable results. More complete data are needed to confirm the findings

Midwives’ Experiences with and Perspectives on Online (Nutritional) Counselling and mHealth Applications for Pregnant Women; an Explorative Qualitative Study
Prenatal nutrition is a key predictor of early-life development. However, despite mass campaigns to stimulate healthy nutrition during pregnancy, the diet of Dutch pregnant women is often suboptimal. Innovative technologies offer an opportunity to develop tailored tools, which resulted in the release of various apps on healthy nutrition during pregnancy. As midwives act as primary contact for Dutch pregnant women, the goal was to explore the expe…
Improving Health through Reducing Stress’
In order to reduce health inequities, a socio-ecological approach and community engagement are needed to develop sustained interventions with a positive effect on the health of disadvantaged groups. This qualitative study was part of the development phase of a community health promotion programme. The study aimed to provide insight into the perceptions of parents in a disadvantaged neighbourhood about health, and their priorities for the communit…
Effective elements of care-physical activity initiatives for adults with a low socioeconomic status
In care-physical activity (care-PA) initiatives, primary care and sports are combined to stimulate PA among adults at risk of lifestyle related diseases. Preliminary results from Dutch care-PA initiatives for adults with a low socioeconomic status (SES) indicate a decrease in participants' body weight and an improved quality of life, however, the elements that make these initiatives successful are yet to be identified. In total, 19 Dutch health p…
We Don’t Assume That Everyone Has the Same Idea About Health, Do We?” Explorative Study of Citizens’ Perceptions of Health and Participation to Improve Their Health in a Low Socioeconomic City Distric…
In community health promotion programs that aim to reduce health inequities, citizen participation is recommended, as it strengthens citizens' active involvement and has a positive impact on health. A prerequisite for citizen participation is recognizing and incorporating citizens' perceptions of health. Therefore, this study aimed to explore these perceptions and actions needed to improve the health of citizens living in a low socioeconomic city…
Assessing health outcomes in the aftermath of the great recession
We find evidence that financial security's influence on health outcomes may vary in different contexts. This may be an important aspect of determining the Great Recession's influence on health outcomes. Our study is a first step in understanding how the relationships between financial security and health may differ in countries with different experiences of the Great Recession
Using Realist Interviews to Improve Theory on the Mechanisms and Outcomes of Sport for Development Programmes
The complex nature of Sport for Development (SfD) programmes makes impact evaluation challenging. Realist evaluation has been proposed as a new, theory-driven approach to evaluate complex programmes. The present study aimed to explore the value of conducting realist interviews to gain improved insight into the mechanisms and outcomes of three SfD programmes in the Netherlands: a programme that promotes sports participation among socially vulnerab…
Perceptions of Care Sport Connectors’ Tasks for Strengthening the Connection Between Primary Care, Sports and Physical Activity
Care sport connectors have an important role in strengthening intersectoral collaboration. All the professions acknowledged a task concerning physical activity promotion and accepted a broker role. Thus, a public health mind-set seems to be present to some extent. However, challenges remain, such as the lack of willingness to collaborate among primary care professionals and sports policies not (yet) supporting intersectoral collaboration
Study protocol
The design of the study, with a strong focus on action research, facilitates the involvement of all stakeholders and contributes to the development of capacities, learning, and empowerment, and thus contributes to health. The VoM program is innovative because it adopts an open approach in which activities evolve from citizens' needs, with a focus on action elements. This study will unravel the mechanisms of the action elements at community level,…
The operational context of care sport connectors in the Netherlands
To stimulate physical activity (PA) and guide primary care patients towards local sport facilities, Care Sport Connectors (CSCs), to whom a broker role has been ascribed, were introduced in 2012 in the Netherlands. The aim of this study is to describe CSCs' operational context. A theoretical framework was developed and used as the starting point for this study. Group interviews were held with policymakers in nine participating municipalities, and…
Care–physical activity initiatives in the neighbourhood
Initiatives addressing multiple factors at different levels in an integral way are a challenge for evaluation. Multi-methods and tools are required, and data need to be interpreted comprehensively in order to contribute to a contextual insight into what works and why in relation to HiAP and care-PA initiatives
Local professionals’ perceptions of health assets in a low-SES Dutch neighbourhood
Our study shows, firstly, that professionals in the priority district Slotermeer rated the health of the residents as poor and their health behaviour as inadequate. They considered poverty and lack of education as important causes of this situation. Secondly, the professionals tended to talk about barriers in the neighbourhood rather than about neighbourhood health assets. As such, it seems challenging to implement asset-based approaches. However…

The Atlas school-based health promotion programme
Adolescent boys living in disadvantaged communities are considered a vulnerable group at risk for developing obesity and associated health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and type-2 diabetes. While short-term health promotion programmes often produce effective results during the implementation of the intervention, according to self-determination theory (SDT), changes in autonomous motivation are required if programmes are t…

Healthy ageing in a salutogenic way
Healthy ageing is influenced by a variety of interacting determinants. Because no one agency can tackle all these determinants, the promotion of healthy ageing requires an intersectoral approach. The aim of this article is to describe a theoretical basis, the development and possible applications of a framework within a municipality in the Netherlands. This framework supports intersectoral collaboration by guiding and stimulating the development,…

A weak sense of coherence is associated with a higher mortality risk
BACKGROUND: Sense of coherence (SOC) is a health-promoting resource within the salutogenic theory that reflects an individual's coping ability. The association between SOC and mental health has been confirmed, but its association with mortality is less clear. We examined the association between SOC and all-cause mortality in an adult Dutch population. METHODS: Between 1996 and 1998, a postal questionnaire, including the three-item SOC scale, was …

Planning in Dutch health promotion practice
Health promotion has a strong tradition of using planning models based on an a priori set of goals and processes defined by professionals. Those rational models only partly fit with today's view and practice of health promotion, where programmes can be considered as processes because they are guided by principles such as community participation and intersectoral collaboration. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive view on approaches…

Strengthening sense of coherence
Sense of coherence (SOC) reflects a coping capacity of people to deal with everyday life stressors and consists of three elements: comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness. SOC is often considered to be a stable entity that is developed in young adulthood and stabilizes around the age of 30. Recent studies have questioned this stability of SOC and some studies report on interventions that have been successful in strengthening SOC in ad…
Exploring participant appreciation of group-based principles for action in community-based physical activity programs for socially vulnerable groups in the Netherlands
Group-based principles for action in CBHEPA programs are not clearly demarcated. Fostering group processes is an overarching principle, conditional for the spin-off in terms of enjoyment and active participation. This, in turn, leads to a sense of ownership among participants, who take up responsibility for the exercise group as well as their individual activity behaviour. CBHEPA programs thrive on participants having fun together and exercise tr…
Evaluation of the role of Care Sport Connectors in connecting primary care, sport, and physical activity, and residents’ participation in the Netherlands

Citizen Science for public health
Community engagement in public health policy is easier said than done. One reason is that public health policy is produced in a complex process resulting in policies that may appear not to link up to citizen perspectives. We therefore address the central question as to whether citizen engagement in knowledge production could enable inclusive health policy making. Building on non-health work fields, we describe different types of citizen engagemen…
