Obesity Clinical Trial - A Health Promotion Intervention for Vulnerable

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The BeE-school (Be Empowered in school) is a cluster-randomised trial that addresses the complexity of the social challenge (vulnerable school-age children). It aims to analyse the effectiveness of the intervention program, based on the promotion of health literacy and lifestyles, specifically on children's: 1-health literacy and infodemic resilience (Aim 1); 2- lifestyles (e.g. dietary intake, 24hmovement behaviour) (Aim 2); 3-overweight and obesity (Aim 3); 4-blood pressure (Aim 4). The project converges multiple disciplines (e.g. public health, informatics, law) and researchers with proven expertise in these fields to provide comprehensive and innovative answers. 478 children (6 schools) aged 6-12years old will participate in this cluster-randomised trial, having schools as the unit of randomisation, assigned into intervention (239-3schools) and the control arm (239 - 3 schools). This project will perform a social listening (online and offline) and bottom-up approach to tackling NCDs, focusing on health literacy and health promotion and recognising children's systems in daily life (e.g. family, teachers). Stakeholders' involvement goes far beyond a merely consultative approach; the researchers are committed to a genuine codevelopment process. Data collection includes sociodemographics, health literacy and infodemic resilience, dietary intake and children's 24-h movement behaviour (e.g. accelerometry), anthropometry (e.g. weight, height and waist circumference) and blood pressure. Data collection will occur at baseline and after the intervention (follow-up, 6 months after the beginning of the intervention). Expected outputs and outcomes include the creation of a model for characterising NCDs and health topics based on artificial intelligence techniques (e.g. deep learning, and social network analysis methods); improved health literacy and infodemic resilience of children, families and teachers; enhanced children's lifestyles (e.g. dietary intake, 24-h movement behaviour); reduction of NCDs' physical risk factors (e.g. overweight, raised blood pressure); feasible intervention program about health promotion and NCDs' prevention for school-aged children with vulnerabilities, and advocacy- policies about health promotion and NCDs' prevention.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
