Summary
Municipal employees
Area of Science:
- Urban planning and policy
- Public administration
- Disability studies
Background:
- Cities must develop universal accessibility (UA) action plans per the UN-CRPD.
- Operationalizing UA plans is complex, with limited knowledge of municipal employee perspectives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To document the implementation determinants of universal accessibility (UA) within a municipal organization in Quebec, Canada.
Main Methods:
- An observational cross-sectional study surveyed municipal employees.
- The survey utilized the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and the Domains of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire (DIBQ).
- Identified facilitators, barriers, and influencing factors for UA implementation.
Main Results:
- 43% of employees completed the survey.
- Beliefs about citizen impact facilitate UA implementation, while external context poses a hindrance.
- Six factors influence implementation: professional role, capacity, resources, willingness, characteristics, and feedback.
Conclusions:
- Understanding consequences, adequate resources, abilities, and willingness are key to UA implementation.
- Findings inform municipal action plans and guide the development of targeted solutions for enhanced UA.

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I
2.1K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
