ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial, called "Empowering Adolescents to Lead Change Using Health Data," is looking to improve the health behaviors of teenagers aged 13 to 17 in schools across four developing countries. The study will include 30 schools, where researchers will first survey students to understand their health habits and school policies. In 15 of these schools, the information gathered will help create a plan that involves students, teachers, and local authorities to promote healthier behaviors. Over two years, these actions will be put into place and monitored, with follow-up surveys conducted to see how effective the changes were.
To participate in this trial, students need to be between 13 and 17 years old and currently attending school. Those who do not meet these requirements will not be eligible. Participants can expect to be part of a program that aims to make their school a healthier environment, and their insights will help shape important changes in their communities. This is a great opportunity for young people to have a voice in their health and well-being.
