What this trial studies

This project aims to co-design and evaluate an eHealth platform that promotes healthy habits among adolescents aged 12-15 from socially disadvantaged settings in Central Catalonia. The intervention involves a randomized controlled trial comparing a comprehensive digital platform with basic health information to assess its impact on physical activity levels and dietary habits. Participants will include adolescents and physical education teachers from selected secondary schools, who will collaborate in the design and implementation of the platform. The study seeks to fill existing gaps in public health policies tailored for this demographic.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this initiative could significantly improve the physical activity and dietary habits of adolescents from disadvantaged backgrounds.

How similar studies have gone: While there is limited research specifically targeting this demographic with a digital platform, similar interventions have shown promise in improving health behaviors in adolescents.
