Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study evaluates an intervention, The CIrCLE of Life Initiative, which was developed to address HIV and obesity prevention. We evaluated whether the combined HIV and obesity intervention increased knowledge, enhanced skills, and/or promoted healthy behaviour among pre-adolescent students (9-12 years old) and their parents.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The CIrCLE of Life Initiative had both a school and home component, each comprising a learning curriculum, environmental support, and activity-based constituents that aimed to increase student knowledge and skills, and to engage parents. Trained educators delivered lessons about HIV and obesity to all Grade 6 students at 5 government-run schools. The classroom curriculum for students required delivery of a five-hour face-to-face intervention delivered weekly through 10 30-minute lessons. Students were asked to communicate their learnings to their parents at home. Parents were requested to read through the lesson in a workbook and to sign acknowledgement that they had read the content. The workbook contained shared student-parent homework activities that took approximately 30 minutes per week.

Intervention

537 pre-adolescent grade 6 learners and their parent (n=537) were invited to participate. Trained educators delivered lessons about HIV and obesity to all Grade 6 students at 5 government-run schools. The classroom curriculum for students required delivery of a five-hour face-to-face intervention delivered weekly through 10 30-minute lessons. Students were asked to communicate their learnings to their parents at home. Parents were requested to read through the lesson in a workbook and to sign acknowledgement that they had read the content. The workbook contained shared student-parent homework activities that took approximately 30 minutes per week. Data was only collected from Learners (n=425) and parents (n= 427)who had consented to the study. A pretest was conducted. The intervention was then implemented. A posttest was conducted afterwards. Both parents and learners answered self-reported questionnaires.
