Cross-case differences

Employer case	Case-specific characteristics and findings
Municipality	- Relatively lower start- and completion rates, partly due to the fact that several participants were sent by their managers and did not participate on a voluntary basis. - For those who did participate, the relative improvements in eating vegetables and adding moderate intensity physical activity were larger than in the other cases.
Advocacy	- About half of the group were (senior) volunteers and the average age in this group was highest. Several sudden events happened in the lives of these participants, hampering workshop participation and course completion for several of them. -Initial health behaviour scores were highest in this group: for daily physical activity, for fruit and vegetables consumption. However, their energy was lower and stayed low. - About 50 % were retired: some were more busy than ever. Others reported that the topics of work related stress and energy were less relevant for them.
Care Provider	- The regional director was a strong health advocate, participant and initiator in this group. Start- and compliance rates were highest is this group. - This group had the lowest start fruit consumption, but the highest final score. - The improvements were largest in energy and recuperation behaviours in this group, as well as the reported gains in mental fitness (at 1, 3 and 10 months).
