There has been an emphasis on schools to promote healthy lifestyles and many intervention programmes have attempted this. Most programmes are evaluated at the time and/or shortly afterwards. This is a review of the impact and sustainability of the Health for Life programme 2-5 years after the initial phase. It captures the experiences of the senior school staff who delivered the programme through semi-structured interviews. Senior teachers recognized the importance of promoting healthy lifestyles in primary schools. They reported positively on aspects of the programme, in particular its flexibility and how it enabled schools to develop a new relationship with parents and how schools have sustained the initial programme. They discussed the main barriers to intervention and how they could be mitigated. Delivering a sustainable healthy lifestyle primary schools programme which has an impact is feasible but challenging for school staff. To maximize the likelihood of delivery, interventions must be championed by a member of the Senior Leadership Team, embedded in the curriculum, hands-on, easy to manage, and flexible to the needs of individual schools but requires support (financial, training and advisory). With these conditions the sustainability and impact of the programme was significant.
一直以来，学校都强调要倡导健康的生活方式，为此许多干预项目也都尝试过这样做。大多数项目都是在当时和/或之后不久进行评估的。本研究回顾了“健康生活”项目在初始阶段结束后 2-5 年内的影响和可持续性。该研究通过半结构化访谈，记录了参与项目的资深学校工作人员的经验。资深教师认识到在小学阶段倡导健康生活方式的重要性。他们积极评价了该项目的各个方面，特别是其灵活性，以及它如何使学校能够与家长建立新的关系，以及学校如何维持最初的项目。他们讨论了干预的主要障碍以及如何减轻这些障碍。为了实现具有可持续性和影响力的小学健康生活方式项目，学校工作人员需要付出很多努力。为了使项目更有可能顺利实施，干预措施必须得到高级领导团队成员的支持，嵌入课程，切实可行，易于管理，并且灵活适应个别学校的需求，但需要得到支持（财务、培训和咨询）。满足这些条件，项目的可持续性和影响力就会显著提高。
