Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study was designed as a randomized controlled study, aiming to analyze the effectiveness and feasibility of a school intervention to improve health literacy of 5th and 6th grade students on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and mental health. Intervention will be delivered in two phases. Phase 1 will involve a pilot intervention comprising four sessions conducted over a three-month period in two schools representing distinct socioeconomic contexts. Phase 2 will scale the intervention nationally, expanding to include additional schools across Portugal. This phase will include eight sessions conducted over one entire school-year (September-June), and will integrate adjustments based on the limitations and insights identified during the pilot study. Phase 2 will additionally include 20-month follow-up assessments to be performed at the end of the following school-year (20-month).

Phase 2. Intervention will be applied by trained professors (not part of the research team). Assessors will be blinded to group allocation.
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Education and Literacy for an Active Life
Participants will be exposed to 50-minute sessions (only four sessions in Phase 1), targeting health literacy (across the four dimensions: access, comprehension, evaluation and application) on nutrition, sedentary behaviour, physical activity, sleep and mental health. Sessions will use interactive and student-centred methodologies, such as discussions, videos, practical activities, and group work, to promote participation and active learning. The intervention will be implemented uniformly across schools with the support of teachers. Activities will be adapted to the school context and age group to ensure feasibility and relevance.
Education and Literacy for an Active Life
This study will assess the effectiveness of a school-based health literacy intervention on the four dimensions of health literacy (i.e., access, understanding, evaluation, and application) on diet, sedentary behaviour, physical activity, sleep, and mental health in 5th and 6th graders (aged 9-12), and explored its implementation feasibility.
Standard School Curriculum
Participants will not receive the health literacy intervention during the study period, receiving only standard school curriculum.
No interventions assigned to this group
