| Abstract |
|
This study examined a prediction model that integrated three categories of predictors likely to influence adoption of the Quebec Healthy Schools (HS) approach, i.e. attributes of the approach, individual and contextual char- acteristics. HS receptivity was considered as a potential mediator. For this study, 141 respondents representing 96 schools partici- pated in a postal survey. We used bivariate logistic regression to assess factors associated with HS adoption and Baron and Kenny’s method to test the mediation effect of HS re- ceptivity. Four predictors related to school or- ganizational characteristics had more weight in influencing the adoption of HS: the ‘pres- ence of leaders within schools’, ‘perceived school contextual barriers’, ‘school invest- ment in healthy lifestyles’ and ‘beliefs in col- lective efficacy’. The influence of the latter two predictors was not direct but mediated by HS receptivity. Our findings showed that standard attributes generally considered as predictors of the adoption of an innovation are not the strongest determinants to explain HS adoption in the present context. The results shed light on the crucial role of organizational context in the adoption of this type of approach.
