The study examines schools that do and do not work according to the so-called Healthy School approach. The Healthy School approach was developed as part of the national Healthy School programme. The approach helps schools work structurally on a healthy lifestyle for their pupils/students, thereby improving their health and wellbeing. Schools can be supported in this by a Healthy School adviser from the municipal health service, or they can get started themselves using the information and materials on the website. By looking at schools that do and do not work according to the Healthy School approach, the researchers can provide advice to municipalities and municipal health services, among others, to improve support for schools.
Who should complete it?
The person who knows most about how health and wellbeing are addressed at your school (location). This might be a care coordinator, Healthy School coordinator or head teacher, for example. When completing the questionnaire, they can involve colleagues to obtain as complete a picture as possible.
What period should I answer this for?
Answer the questions about the situation in the 2019/2020 school year before the coronavirus crisis, namely August 2019 through February 2020.
How long does it take to complete?
Completing the questionnaire takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes. You can also stop partway through and continue at a later time (within a maximum of 1 week). The questionnaire consists of 6 sections. The progress bar at the top of the page shows how far you have progressed.
Are my answers anonymous?
Your answers will be processed completely anonymously. Only the researchers can link your answers to the name of your school (location). If used in publications, they can never be traced back to you or your school (location). Your answers will be stored in a secure environment for a maximum of 15 years after completion of the study. Participation is entirely voluntary. You can stop completing the questionnaire at any time without consequences.
