“…The participation of the community is one of the requisites for classifying a school as a health promoter. 14,19 In this study, the majority of managers referred that parents and employees were involved in the meetings and actions regarding health and healthy eating topics. However, the average number of meetings was considered low when compared to other studies.…”

Objectives: Teacher connectedness is an important factor for young people's wellbeing. The aim of this paper was to examine teacher connectedness in detail and its potential association with emotional well-being. More specifically, we set out to analyse whether teacher connectedness acted as a universal asset for boys and girls of different ages and countries as well as across adolescents with differing perceptions of their performance at school. Methods: Sample consisted of 9,444 young people aged 11, 13 and 15 that had taken part in the WHO collaborative survey Health Behaviour in School-aged Children in Spain and England. After examining differences in teacher connectedness associated with demographic factors, we used general linear models to analyse the relationship between teacher connectedness and emotional well-being (including interactions teacher connectedness by country) across different age and performance-derived groups. Results: Results indicated some significant differences in teacher connectedness associated with age, country, and perceived performance but a consistent positive association between teacher connectedness and emotional well-being regardless of demographic factors, country and perceptions of school performance. Older adolescents and low achievers reported lower level of connectedness to their teachers but the association between teacher connectedness and emotional well-being operated irrespective of adolescents' age and perceived performance at school. Conclusions: Results support the perspective that teacher connectedness can act as a significant health asset that operates irrespective of key demographic factors, while they point to some inequalities in teacher connectedness associated to age and performance at school. These findings have significant implications for health promotion interventions.

The Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study: methodological developments and current tensions

Abstract: While these challenges are not trivial, the structure of the HBSC network and its long-term experience in working through such challenges renders it likely that HBSC can provide a model of other similar studies facing these tensions.
