This article presents a practitioner-based approach to identify key combinations of contextual factors (C) and mechanisms (M) that trigger outcomes (O) in Dutch community-based health-enhancing physical activity (CBHEPA) programs targeting socially vulnerable groups. Data were collected six using semi-structured interviews focus groups timeline technique. Sessions recorded, anonymized, transcribed. A realist synthesis protocol was used for data-driven thematic analysis CMO configurations....
Food systems governance for healthy and sustainable diets remains a challenge. New structures are needed to better connect food actors. This paper argues that existing multi-stakeholder platforms (MSPs) have the potential contribute by facilitating linkages between actors scales. In non-experimental study MSPs (n = 89) were explored in four countries addressing nutrition security. A diagnostic framework was used identify MSP's capacities address principles like system-based problem framing,...
Physical inactivity is most commonly found in socially vulnerable groups. Dutch policies target these groups through community-based health-enhancing physical activity (CBHEPA) programs. As robust evidence on the effectiveness of this approach limited, study investigated whether CBHEPA programs contribute to an increase and maintenance In four successive cohorts, starting at a six-month interval, 268 participants from 19 were monitored for twelve months seven Data collection was based...
Physical inactivity is a core risk factor for non-communicable diseases. In the Netherlands, socially vulnerable groups are relatively less active than with higher socio-economic status. Community-based health-enhancing physical activity (CBHEPA) programs aim to empower by improving participants' health and wellbeing through activity. CBHEPA often revolve around group-based principles action, such as participation, enjoyment, fostering group processes. As rarely made explicit, our study aims...
Background: As interventions are not yet successful in substantially improving physical activity levels of low socioeconomic status groups the Netherlands, it is a challenge to undertake more effective interventions. Participatory community-based such as Communities on Move (CoM) seem promising. Evaluating their effectiveness, however, calls for appropriate evaluation approaches. Objective: This paper provides conceptual model development context-sensitive monitoring and approach order (1)...
Willingness to pay (WTP) is used assess individuals' value attribution health-related quality of life interventions. Little known about predictors WTP for sport and physical activity in socially vulnerable groups community-based (CBHEPA) programs. This study addresses the questions: What participants CBHEPA programs, expressed WTPmoney WTPtime? Which factors predict From literature, were identified: (1) personal socio-economic predictors: income, education, age, ethnic origin, (2) perceived...
Facilitating processes for coordinated action in the field of health promotion is a challenge. Poorthuis and Bijl's (2006) Participatory Network Mapping Tool (PNMT) uses visualization discussion to map positions roles network actors, stimulate learning processes, elicit actionable knowledge. This article describes results from application PNMT networks two Dutch programmes (Health Race BeweegKuur) with aim determining value partners promotions networks.A qualitative secondary analysis (QSA)...
The aim of this project was to explore the theme social innovation for nutrition-sensitive and sustainable agriculture, resulting in examples improved production consumption nutritious food. Social refers generation implementation new ideas about how people organize interpersonal activities, or interactions, meet one more common goals process change basic routines, resources, decision-making processes. In country context Myanmar, research aimed capture a variety cases related processes...
In community-based health enhancing physical activity (CBHEPA) programmes, group-based principles for action such as active participation, enjoyment, and fostering group processes are widely advocated. However, not much is known about participants' perceptions of these there no assessment tools available. Therefore, this article describes the development APEF (Active Participation, Enjoyment, Fostering processes) tool reports on its implementation in a Dutch CBHEPA programme. Indicators have...
Food systems undergo rapid changes in response to economic and market forces, environmental dietary changes. This study aimed disentangle adaptation strategies farm households balancing interests the commercial aspects of farming consumption nutritious foods. The area interest was Central Myanmar, Pakokku region. A literature-based framework used identify entry points for at household level. purposive sampling strategy select smallholders (<5 acres), engaged market-oriented agriculture...
Mental development of 4–5‐year old children on macrobiotic diets (almost devoid animal foods and fat) with long‐term growth deficits, was studied using the Snijders‐Oomen Non‐verbal Intelligence (SON) scale. In addition, food consumption behavioural style children, family parent characteristics were assessed. Parents highly educated: 69% fathers 47% mothers had completed college or university education. The children's energy intake only 70% calcium 40% that reported for similar age...
Sense of coherence (SOC), a concept that refers to individuals' abilities manage, comprehend, and find meaning in their lives the world around them, has been shown be an important predictor health outcomes. While SOC was initially hypothesized static after early-adulthood, there is growing evidence interventions can strengthen SOC. In this study, we accordingly examined whether could strengthened among adults context physical activity intervention. This intervention, Communities on Move,...
