Description

Clara Heinze and three colleagues follow, in a 2026 longitudinal study, a health promotion program rolled out across eight Danish vocational schools using a whole-systems approach. Such schools serve many young people from poorer backgrounds, where unhealthy habits cluster and programs often fade away.

Quarterly interviews with coordinators and managers, fifty-nine in all, were mapped for ripple effects over two years. Forty-two actions had been put in place, and six schools reported real structural, relational, or deeper change. Two pathways explained most success: change driven from inside by committed staff, and change backed by outside community partners. Turnover, time pressure, and workplace training spells were the main brakes.
