Filter by:This will be a prospective study simulating return to school for two full days prior to the start of the school year in September. Volunteer students and teachers from six grade ranges will be recruited to participate in the study. In each grade range, there will be two classes that will participate, one that will be assigned to wear face masks/coverings at all times (experimental group/class) and the other that will not wear face masks/coverings at all times (control group/class). Students will be randomized to either the masking at all times (experimental across all grades) or no masking (control across JK-Grade 4) / masking only when physical distance can be maintained (control across Grade 5-Grade 12) class in their appropriate grade. Personal behaviours and person-to-person interactions will be recorded using video cameras. In addition, a safe biological indicator will be applied to the hands to simulate potential asymptomatic infection in a subset of students. Other students will have sanitizer applied so that students are blinded to who has the indicator. Cameras will be used to document how the indicator moves throughout the classroom.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Organizational Skills Training Program - School based version (OST-S) in a cluster randomized trial. Participating schools will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1) an OST-S intervention group and 2) a treatment as usual control group. Participating students (3rd through 5th grade) will be from at least 20 schools in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and include both urban and suburban schools serving a diverse population. OST-S is a small-group, skills training intervention for children, which includes parent and teacher consultation to support student use of new skills. The program is delivered by school staff who receive training and consultation from intervention experts.
A two armed randomized trial is evaluating the effect of the medical-student-delivered school-based intervention Education Against Tobacco on the smoking behavior of adolescents in 7-11th grade of secondary schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The primary endpoint is the change in smoking prevalence between the two groups.

This study, randomized, delivered, and analyzed at the school level, evaluated the effect of simple, structural changes to school lunch rooms to make drinking water easier for students during lunch time. Half of the schools received posters promoting drinking water and installed cup dispensers stocked with cups next to lunchroom water fountains, while the other half received no intervention. The intervention outcomes were average water consumption and the proportion of students in the lunchroom who opted to drink water, as well as the proportion of students with sugary drinks at lunch. No identifying information on individual children was collected.
