Study: School-Based Cardiovascular Health Promotion in Adolescents: A Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial. Image Credit: Jacob Lund / Shutterstock.com Previously, SI! Program studies were conducted among pre-schoolers, which revealed the importance of favorable timing to achieve persistent positive effects. This timing depends on numerous factors including intervention intensity and duration, as well as the age of the targeted population.
Public schools located in the metropolitan areas of Barcelona and Madrid were selected for the study. Schools that participated in the study were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a comprehensive educational program through a long-term intervention , a short-term intervention , or standard curriculum .
The curriculums of both interventions were similar, in which STI condensed all content in two years and LTI taught the same content in four years. The teachers stated that the study content was very difficult to implement in just two years. Since teachers must also focus on other academic and administrative tasks, a more intense intervention could impact the quality of the interventions.
