“…This is a mixed-methods study, where the effects of the MB program were studied quantitatively, whereas its specific cases and educational significance were studied qualitatively. The use of this method is consistent with the emphasis on the need for qualitative research methodology in studies on adolescents' health management [10,11]. Subsequently, to understand the complicated situations of adolescents and applying context-specific scientific programs based on this understanding, we chose a mixed-methods design.…”

This study aimed to develop a physical education fitness program for adolescents to counteract the declining physical activity levels caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to investigate the program’s effect. This mixed-methods study developed and implemented a five-component “Music Beeps” (MB) program to promote adolescents’ physical fitness. A total of 240 students from two high schools in South Korea—divided into experimental and control groups—participated in 32 sessions over 16 weeks. The changes in students’ fitness were analyzed, and the educational effects were examined via inductive analysis of the observation logs and group and in-depth interviews. The results demonstrated that, whereas the comparison group demonstrated no statistically significant changes in power, muscular strength and endurance, or cardiopulmonary endurance, the experimental group showed changes in all these variables, along with changes in flexibility. Further, the MB program had significant educational effects. First, students reported that musical cues enhanced their fitness motivation and sense of responsibility. Second, record-keeping and active participation contributed to self-led fitness management. Third, activity in a small space with few pieces of equipment led to the positive perception that the program was efficient and enabled regular exercise regardless of climate conditions.

HPV vaccine uptake rates are suboptimal in Hong Kong. A multi-disciplinary school-based HPV health-promotion programme (MDL-SHPVP) aimed at raising HPV knowledge levels and increasing vaccine uptake has therefore been developed to address vaccine hesitancy. This qualitative study was conducted to collect user feedback and identify the strengths and limitations of the educational resources developed for the programme among key vaccination stakeholders including adolescent girls and their mothers. Twenty-six participants including eight mother-daughter dyads, four teachers, three social workers, two school principals and one school nurse were recruited. To cater to the diverse audience, ten educational videos, three animations, a digital game and one booklet were developed for the programme and distributed to the participants for viewing. Semi-structured interviews were then conducted to collect feedback on the acceptability and effectiveness of the resources. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and resulting data were thematically analysed. Three themes and six sub-themes emerged. The educational materials were well-received and effective in raising HPV-knowledge levels, generating confidence in vaccine safety and effectiveness, and boosting vaccination intention. Some doubts regarding vaccine necessity remained, and recommendations for improving resource presentation and accessibility were provided. Our findings suggest that the MDL-SHPVP has the potential to boost HPV vaccine uptake. Future studies may explore educational interventions which target to increase not only HPV vaccination intention but also the sense of urgency so as to encourage timely vaccination for adolescents at the ideal age. Study findings may also provide directions for the development of future health education interventions.
