This is a field study aiming to evaluate a school-based prevention intervention, Diario della Salute (DDS).
Diario della Salute (DDS) is a school-based prevention intervention based on the following theories:
DDS is composed by:
tools for children and their parents on health and social and emotional well-being issues:
five highly-standardized interactive lessons (2-4 hours each) on health issues administered by previously trained teachers.
Assignment of schools to study arms (DDS intervention vs. no intervention) will be cluster-randomized. Schools will be matched by number of students and average socioeconomic status. In some study areas schools will not be allocated by chance, but they will be analyzed separately from other schools.
Two anonymous surveys focusing on main outcomes (wellbeing, tobacco smoking, alcohol, physical activity and diet) will be before and after the intervention. Pre and post surveys will be linked through an anonymous code (Galanti, 2006).
