[Motivation for Specialisation in General Practice - A Quantitative Study of NRW's Medical Students in Support of Targeted Recruitment].

Aim Of Study: Due to forecasted shortage of general practitioners, we conducted an online survey of all medical students in North-Rhine-Westphalia to identify and quantify determinants in medical students' decision to specialize in general practice (GP).

Methodology: To identify the motives driving the choice of GP as a career, responses of 3976 participants (22.6% of medical students invited) were subjected to factor analysis.

Effectiveness of a systematic approach to promote intersectoral collaboration in comprehensive school health promotion-a multiple-case study using quantitative and qualitative data.

Background: We report on the longitudinal quantitative and qualitative data resulting from a two-year trajectory (2008-2011) based on the DIagnosis of Sustainable Collaboration (DISC) model. This trajectory aimed to support regional coordinators of comprehensive school health promotion (CSHP) in systematically developing change management and project management to establish intersectoral collaboration.

Methods: Multilevel analyses of quantitative data on the determinants of collaborations according to the DISC model were done, with 90 respondents (response 57 %) at pretest and 69 respondents (52 %) at posttest.
