Study Notes
School Health Promotion Programmes and Long-Term Effectiveness
- The success of health promotion programs in schools is influenced by the type and history of delivery, student engagement, and reciprocity with teachers.
- Integrating a program into a school involves providing support for teachers, having a named coordinator, and emphasizing personal, social, and developmental gains for both teachers and students.
- E-health interventions offer increased engagement, scalability, and can address obstacles such as availability of experts and cost of implementation.
- Meta-analytic evidence suggests that interventions addressing a single health risk behavior show sustained effects, while those addressing multiple behaviors show immediate but not sustained effects.
- The name of the program can impact staff and student participation in interventions.
- School interventions have shown effectiveness immediately post-implementation and up to 12 months afterward, with some programs remaining effective into adulthood.
- A study found that an Australian school-based alcohol prevention program remained effective 7 years later, possibly due to its delivery before students reached the drinking age.
- A US program for students aged 6-12 resulted in various long-term benefits, including reduced alcohol use, violence, and mental health symptoms into adulthood.
- Considerations for interpreting these findings include participant withdrawal, self-report measures, and the potential impact of social desirability bias.
- Drawbacks of school interventions include the lack of measurement of side effects and factors not directly related to the intervention.
- To make school interventions effective into adulthood, prevention is key, and common characteristics include integration into daily practice, engaging all staff, and supporting parental engagement.
- Health psychology focuses on understanding the factors influencing health and illness and aims to promote health and prevent illness through specialized interventions.
