Improving mental health literacy in secondary school educational professionals in the netherlands: adaptation of an existing intervention using Intervention Mapping Adapt
Our findings show that some content adaptations to LEARN were needed to address the needs and (learning) preferences of educational professionals in the Dutch education context, but that the majority of the existing intervention could be upheld. Existing evidence-based MHL interventions for educational professionals are useful as a basis for the adaptation and transfer to other countries. IM Adapt is a valuable framework for the systematic planning of adaptations to a new context while retaining its essential elements.
