    Open AccessNina Bartelink, Patricia van Assema et al.ARTICLEJournal of School Health2024

    BACKGROUND: Although principles of the health promoting school (HPS) approach are followed worldwide, differences between countries in the implementation are reported. The aim of the current study was (1) to examine the implementation of the HPS approach in European countries in terms of different implementation indicators, that is, percentage of schools implementing the HPS approach, implementation of core components, and positioning on so-calle…

  • Context matters—the phased development of an adaptable food literacy intervention

    Open AccessLisa S E Harms, Patricia van Assema et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2023

    Adapting interventions to the context increases the impact and sustainability of interventions. Literature acknowledges the need to adapt existing interventions and that these adaptations should be clearly reported. However, little is known about how to incorporate adaptation from the beginning. This paper argues that interventions should be developed and adaptations should be made using an ongoing non-linear approach. An action-oriented research…

  • 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…

  • Exploring the implementation dynamics of the Health Promoting School approach in Europe

    Open AccessMarion Driessen-Willems, Floor Severens et al.ARTICLEHealth Education2023

    Purpose Adapting the Health Promotion School (HPS) approach to context specifics is acknowledged as being essential for implementation and achieving optimal effectiveness. This study aims to explore implementation variations on seven HPS spectra (such as top-down to bottom-up involvement of stakeholders) on which implementation of the HPS approach can vary, and the factors that relate to navigation on these spectra. Design/methodology/approach In…

    Open AccessGerjanne Vennegoor, Patricia van Assema et al.ARTICLEJournal of School Health2023

    BACKGROUND: Implementation of Health Promoting School (HPS) programs can be challenging due to the dynamic school context. Navigating between program fidelity and adaptation, as well as integrating the program, is essential for successful implementation, and consequently, for program effects. As part of an evaluation study in the Netherlands, this study aimed to develop a measurement instrument that differentiates schools according to fidelity, a…

  • Supporting schools during the implementation of the health-promoting school approach

    Open AccessNina Bartelink, Bonnie Maria van Dongen et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Introduction: The health-promoting school (HPS) approach was developed by the World Health Organization to create health promotion changes in the whole school system. Implementing the approach can be challenging for schools because schools are dynamic organizations with each a unique context. Many countries worldwide have a health promotion system in place in which healthy school (HS) advisors support schools in the process of implementing the HP…

  • Co-Creation Approach with Action-Oriented Research Methods to Strengthen “Krachtvoer”; A School-Based Programme to Enhance Healthy Nutrition in Adolescents

    Open AccessMarion Driessen-Willems, Nina Bartelink et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    In recent years, the nutritional pattern of the Dutch adolescent has cautiously improved. However, progress can be gained if more Dutch adolescents adhere to the nutritional guidelines. School-based initiatives offer opportunities to deal with the unhealthy eating behaviours of adolescents via nutrition educational interventions. In designing and/or re-designing school-based interventions, it is important to enhance optimal context-oriented imple…

    Good Affordable Food (GAF) is a small-group nutrition education intervention for adults with low socioeconomic status and small incomes. It aims to empower participants to save money on groceries and consume healthier diets. This paper reports the short-term and longer-term effects on behavioural determinants and self-reported behavioural changes. A quasi-experimental control group design was applied with a baseline measurement, a post-test immed…

  • Implementing multiple intervention strategies in Dutch public health-related policy networks

    Open AccessJ Harting, Dorothee Peters et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2019

    Improving public health requires multiple intervention strategies. Implementing such an intervention mix is supposed to require a multisectoral policy network. As evidence to support this assumption is scarce, we examined under which conditions public health-related policy networks were able to implement an intervention mix. Data were collected (2009-14) from 29 Dutch public health policy networks. Surveys were used to identify the number of poli…

  • The Comprehensive Snack Parenting Questionnaire (CSPQ)

    Open AccessDorus Gevers, Stef Kremer et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    The narrow focus of existing food parenting instruments led us to develop a food parenting practices instrument measuring the full range of food practices constructs with a focus on snacking behavior. We present the development of the questionnaire and our research on the test-retest reliability. The developed Comprehensive Snack Parenting Questionnaire (CSPQ) covers 21 constructs. Test-retest reliability was assessed by calculating intra class c…

  • Explaining use of food parenting practices

    Open AccessDorus Gevers, Dorus WM Gevers et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2017

    Objective The high energy intake from energy-dense foods among children in developed countries is undesirable. Improving food parenting practices has the potential to lower snack intakes among children. To inform the development of interventions, we aimed to predict food parenting practice patterns around snacking (i.e. ‘high covert control and rewarding’, ‘low covert control and non-rewarding’, ‘high involvement and supportive’ and ‘low involvem…

  • The assessment of ongoing community-based interventions to prevent obesity

    Open AccessJessica S Gubbels, Frida KS Mathisen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    We found that many multi-level obesity prevention interventions among adults are currently active in Europe, although we found relatively few in Southern and Eastern Europe. Identifying interventions and obtaining detailed information proved to be a difficult, time consuming and painstaking process. We discuss some of the reasons why this might be the case and present recommendations based on our experiences. We suggest that future research uses …

  • Emotional and instrumental feeding practices of Dutch mothers regarding foods eaten between main meals

    Open AccessLieke Raaijmakers, Lieke GM Raaijmakers et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Our results show that mothers in our sample mainly used unhealthy products in the context of instrumental and emotional feeding practices. Research into the association between these practices and children's dietary intake is warranted, since the use of unhealthy products in the context of these practices may not necessarily lead to an increased consumption of these products. Findings regarding the frequency of use of these practices among specif…
