Background  Municipal Health Promotion Organisations (MHPOs) play an important role in promoting and disseminating prevention programmes, such as smoking prevention programmes, in schools. This study identifies factors that may facilitate or hinder MHPOs’ willingness to recruit actively primary schools to use a smoking prevention programme.    Methods  In 2011, 31 Dutch MHPOs were invited to recruit schools to use a smoking prevention programme. All MHPO employees involved in smoking prevention activities ( n  = 68) were asked to complete a questionnaire assessing psychological factors and characteristics of their organisation that might affect their decision to be involved in active recruitment of schools.  T -tests and multivariate analysis of variance assessed potential differences in psychological and organisational factors between active and non-active recruiters.    Results  A total of 45 professionals returned the questionnaire (66.2%). Active recruiters ( n  = 12) had more positive attitudes ( p  = 0.02), higher self-efficacy expectations ( p  < 0.01) and formulated more plans ( p  < 0.01) to recruit primary schools, compared with non-active recruiters. Organisational factors did not discriminate between active and non-active recruiters.    Conclusions  Primarily psychological factors seem to be associated with MHPOs’ decision to recruit schools actively. This indicates that creating more positive attitude, self-efficacy beliefs and formation of plans may help in getting more MHPOs involved in active recruitment procedures.
