The school health approach in primary education : what do parents think ?
The objectives of the study are on the one hand, to examine the perceptions of parents regarding school health and their role in health promotion and on the other hand, to identify ways in which they engage in the implementation of the school health approach through school and family environments. The data were obtained from a questionnaire (n = 74) and a group interview (n = 6). The results show that parents see themselves as key players and want more parent-child activities linked to healthy eating habits and physical activity. The move towards a holistic health approach in a school-family collaborative context must continue.
