Experimental: Comprehensive School Health (CSH)
Full time School Health Facilitator present in each school on a day-to-day basis for 3.5 years responsible for facilitating implementation of Comprehensive School Health
|
APPLE Schools uses a CSH approach to health promotion which addresses health through four inter-related pillars 1) positive social and physical environments 2) teaching and learning 3) healthy school policy 4) partnerships and services.
A key component of the APPLE Schools intervention was the placement of a full-time School Health Facilitator in each school.
Their role was to facilitate the development and implementation of the project, to ensure that it met the schools' unique needs for health promotion, and that it aligned with the core principles of CSH.
