Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention group
Intervention group: Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive both will receive educational intervention including educational booklet will be distributed to the participants in the first session, and they will be asked to take it home and read it within one week. The booklet's content will include the risk factors of NCD and the benefits of adopting a healthy diet and physical activity in reducing overweight and obesity. Then, the educational classes will include six weekly teaching units. The general objective is to prevent obesity among students by delivering education and behavioural skills. The training units will be carried out in the schools. Each training unit will end with activities. The adolescents will learn more about their susceptibility to obesity and weight gain and how to make better decisions and feel better about themselves through these activities.
Education Intervention
This intervention is based on the Health Belief Model Theory, which examines the attitudes and beliefs of adolescents with enhanced knowledge and perceived disease risk. As a result, It aims to build on adolescents' skills and behaviours rather than increase their knowledge, beliefs, and relative skills. In order to develop the education program, health promotion experts with a special interest in changing obesity-related behaviours will assist the researcher.
The intervention is specifically designed to help adolescents:
* To know facts, statistics and harmful effects of obesity and overweight.
* To know facts about physical activity and its importance.
* To know facts about a healthy diet and its importance.
* Definition of BMI and calculating the BMI.
* To read the Nutrition Facts label.
* To develop decision-making and self-care education.
Control group: No Intervention
Participants randomized to the control group in this study will not receive any intervention (They will have their regular curriculums and normal physical activity routine).
No Intervention
They will have their regular curriculums and normal physical activity routine
