Overall, the incorporation of salutogenic principles was moderate.

For instance, tailored interventions that included individualized counseling or self-management tools achieved high scores, with multi-component programs showing the strongest overall alignment.

Understanding the mechanisms through which institutional arrangements are associated with employees' willingness to provide emergency assistance is essential for advancing prevention science and strengthening organizational safety culture. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study tested a dual-mediation structural model using survey data from 147 frontline employees in a private-sector organization engaged in high-risk operational tasks. Perceived workplace institutional attitudes (PWIA) and attitudes toward incentive mechanisms (ATIM) were modeled as predictors; subjective norm attitudes (SNA) and attitudes toward emergency responsiveness (ATER) as mediators; and willingness to provide emergency assistance (WPA) as the outcome. Confirmatory factor analysis and robust maximum likelihood estimation were applied, with indirect effects examined using 5,000 bootstrap resamples. PWIA was associated with WPA primarily through SNA, underscoring the central role of normative reinforcement in linking institutional structures with preventive helping intentions. ATER alone did not significantly mediate the relationship, suggesting that efficacy beliefs may require normative support to translate into action. ATIM demonstrated a direct but limited association with WPA. These findings suggest that sustainable workplace emergency preparedness may depend on embedding supportive norms within organizational systems.

We argue that outcome selection should be informed by a robust theory of change, and that normally this will mean focusing on non-crime/violence outcomes. We identify challenges with self-report measures of youth crime and violence, and consequent effects on participants' engagement in the intervention and the quantity and quality of data they provide. We also discuss ways of using administrative data on crime and violence in evaluations and the practical, scientific and ethical issues these raise. While the challenges identified can partially be addressed, we conclude that currently evaluations of preventive interventions should mostly focus on intermediate outcomes with a known causal link to crime and violence. The longer-term impact on crime and violence can be tracked using administrative data accessed via an archive.
