Expanding school health promotion. Outcomes and reach of a school health support program in primary education To stimulate school health promotion in Dutch primary schools, a support program was developed involving financial incentives and professional support that schools can apply for. Since 2012, this program has been organized four times. All Dutch schools could subscribe for two options: (1) tailored advice on health promotion by a ‘healthy school advisor’, often working for a local Municipal Health Service, or (2) financial support for health activities. This article provides the results of the initial round of support initiatives from the perspective of healthy school advisors and participating schools. Furthermore it describes the reach of the support program in a series of three rounds.
