Drawing on the CONSTANCES French cohort (baseline 2012\u201319) and adjusting for important confounders, we compared education professionals (n\u2009=\u200914\u2009730) with a random sample of non-education sector employees (n\u2009=\u200934\u2009244) on three indicators of high-risk behaviour (at-risk drinking, current smoking, past-year cannabis use) and three indicators of unhealthy lifestyle (low physical activity, poor adherence to nutritional guidelines, overweight\/obesity). Among education professionals, we distinguished between teachers (n\u2009=\u200912\u2009820), school principals (n\u2009=\u2009372), senior education advisers (n\u2009=\u2009189), school health professionals (n\u2009=\u2009128) and school service staff (n\u2009=\u20091221). Compared with non-education sector employees with similar demographic and socioeconomic profiles, teachers were less likely to be at-risk drinkers, to smoke, to have used cannabis in the past year and to be overweight\/obese. Other non-teaching education professionals were also less involved in high-risk behaviours than non-education employees, but results were more mixed concerning some lifestyle indicators, with certain non-teaching education professional groups showing a higher likelihood of being physically inactive or overweight\/obese. In this nationwide French study, our results suggest a window of opportunity to promote school staff health but also indirectly, that of the youth with whom they interact daily. We suggest that school staff should be supported in health matters not only through the provision of health information but also most importantly, through the development of a favourable and supportive environment enabling them to put health knowledge into practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daab151","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]],"date-time":"2021-09-08T11:37:29Z","timestamp":1631101049000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Health behaviours of teachers and other education professionals in France: can we do better?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Sofia","family":"Temam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"MGEN Foundation for Public Health, 3 square Max-Hymans, 75748 Paris Cedex 15, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nathalie","family":"Billaudeau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MGEN Foundation for Public Health, 3 square Max-Hymans, 75748 Paris Cedex 15, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6041-9602","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sofiane","family":"Kab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inserm UMS 011, 16 avenue Paul Vaillant-Couturier, 94 807 Villejuif, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4540-4282","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marie","family":"Zins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inserm UMS 011, 16 avenue Paul Vaillant-Couturier, 94 807 Villejuif, France"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Paris Descartes, Faculty of Medicine, 15 rue de l'\u00c9cole de M\u00e9decine, 75006 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"St\u00e9phanie","family":"Alexander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MGEN Foundation for Public Health, 3 square Max-Hymans, 75748 Paris Cedex 15, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9735-4651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marie-No\u00ebl","family":"Vercambre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MGEN Foundation for Public Health, 3 square Max-Hymans, 75748 Paris Cedex 15, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022042915134458600_daab151-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"304","DOI":"10.1177\/1559827619883603","article-title":"The mismatch of nutrition and lifestyle beliefs and actions among physicians: a wake-up call","volume":"14","author":"Aggarwal","year":"2020","journal-title":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine"},{"key":"2022042915134458600_daab151-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1076","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jand.2013.04.019","article-title":"Intervention effects on kindergarten and first-grade teachers\u2019 classroom food practices and food-related beliefs in American Indian Reservation Schools","volume":"113","author":"Arcan","year":"2013","journal-title":"Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics"},{"key":"2022042915134458600_daab151-B3","first-page":"219","article-title":"Attitudes of teachers about tobacco prevention at school","volume":"28","author":"Barrueco Ferrero, D.
