TBCEvidence-based Implementation Planning Models in School Health Promotion


The need to select evidence-based programs has been well-discussed in the SH and SMH research literature but not so much has been done on the need to select and use an evidence-based implementation model. For example, M. Deschesnes et all have used such a model in their recent article on Factors influencing the adoption of a Health Promoting School approach in the province of Quebec, Canada. This project will identify and discuss the application of such models in SMH and SH promotion
