Brief Summary

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

A randomized clinical trial in clusters, including the development and implementation of an intervention program among young adolescents and their teachers. The research hypothesis is that the intervention program will yield improvement in adolescents whose parents participated in the program, compared with adolescents whose teachers were not involved in the intervention. The results will be measured using the research questionnaire, which participants will complete before, after and three months after the end of the program. The questionnaire will include approved questionnaires with good psychometric properties. In addition, there will be a quality interview. The study protocol was approved by the Tel Hai College Institutional Audit Committee. Parents of all participants in the intervention and control group as well as the teachers involved in the program received information about the program and research and were asked to give informed consent.

Detailed Description

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

Early adolescence (10-13 years) is characterized by hormonal changes and accelerated physiological growth. Significant risk factors for the physical and mental health of children and adolescents include, among other things, reduced physical activity, low self-esteem and self-esteem.

"Mili - a unique shield for daily resilience" is a preventive intervention program. The main goal of the program is to increase the self-care behaviors and self esteem of adolescents and prevent negative physical self-image, as well as to develop media literacy. In this study, researchers will focus on a school-based program designed for ages 10-12, grades 5-6, with a primary goal to develop self-care, media literacy, self-esteem, and positive body image. To increase the impact of the "Young Mili" program on adolescents, the researchers developed a teacher component as an adjunct to the school-based intervention, usually facilitated only by college students. The study will first evaluate the impact of teachers on the program, and then evaluate the difference between adolescent outcomes from the program with or without this supplement.

The results will be measured using the research questionnaire, to be completed by the participants (both teachers and adolescents) before, after, and three months after the end of the program. The questionnaire will include validated scales with good psychometric properties. In addition, qualitative interviews will be conducted among teachers. The study protocol was approved by the Tel Hai College Institutional Audit Committee. Parents of all participants, in the intervention and the control group, as well as teachers involved in the program, were given information about the program and the research and were asked to provide informed consent.
