“…Although students reported Web-based strategies positively, they were the intervention components with the lowest awareness (Bogart et al , 2018). Other researchers have successfully addressed obesity risk factors through Web-based interventions (Huang et al , 2019), and in Africa, the use of social media and mobile phone text messaging has been identified as a promising avenue to deliver health messages to youth in HPS interventions (Macnab et al , 2014). However, one of the objectives of HPSS was to decrease the amount of daily screen time.…”

PurposeObesity in children and adolescents is a significant public health concern. The World Health Organization Health Promoting Schools (HPS) framework promotes good nutrition and physical activity in school settings. While HPS is embraced globally, effective implementation and sustainable programmes are a continued challenge. This paper aims to report on the characteristics of current school interventions based on HPS and implementation barriers and enablers.Design/methodology/approachA literature search identified peer-reviewed studies of school health interventions reflective of the HPS framework focusing on obesity prevention. Studies from all countries were included, if conducted in primary and/or secondary schools; included a sufficient amount of qualitative implementation or process evaluation data to draw conclusions regarding key barriers and enablers to implementation; and were published in English.FindingsNine interventions (n = 9) from seven countries were included. Most were implemented in primary schools and focused on specific grade levels. Engaging parents, the home environment, teacher time constraints, fun interventions, student participation, teacher training, integration with the curriculum and stakeholder engagement all emerged as strong implementation themes. Teachers as role models, establishing community partnerships and policy support also emerged as common themes.Originality/valueFuture interventions may benefit from enhancing teacher and parent health promotion. Partnerships with initiatives focusing on environmental sustainability may simultaneously benefit human and planetary health while strengthening stakeholder engagement opportunities and consistent messaging throughout the community. More comprehensive evaluation data are needed, in particular, for long-term HPS initiatives.

“…From among the 14 included studies, 6 were conducted in the United States of America (42.9%) [ 28 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], 3 in European countries (21.4%) [ 35 , 36 , 37 ], 3 in Asian countries (21.4%) [ 38 , 39 , 40 ] and 2 in Mexico (14.3%) [ 41 , 42 ]. Of those, 10 were implemented in an educational setting (71.4%) [ 28 , 30 , 32 , 33 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ].…”

“…Regarding the desired behaviour change, four interventions intended to promote physical activity (28.6%) [ 30 , 31 , 38 , 39 ], one aimed to modify physical activity simultaneously with fruit and vegetable consumption (7.1%) [ 40 ], four were related to alcohol use (28.6%) [ 28 , 34 , 35 , 37 ], four tried to prevent risky sexual behaviours (28.6%) [ 33 , 36 , 41 , 42 ] and one proposed preventing tobacco use (7.1%) [ 32 ]. None of the sleep hygiene interventions records was found to meet the inclusion criteria.…”

The Effectiveness of Web-Based Interventions to Promote Health Behaviour Change in Adolescents: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Although web-based interventions are attractive to researchers and users, the evidence about their effectiveness in the promotion of health behaviour change is still limited. Our aim was to review the effectiveness of web-based interventions used in health behavioural change in adolescents regarding physical activity, eating habits, tobacco and alcohol use, sexual behaviour, and quality of sleep. Studies published from 2016 till the search was run (May-to-June 2021) were included if they were experimental or quasi-experimental studies, pre-post-test studies, clinical trials, or randomized controlled trials evaluating the effectiveness of web-based intervention in promoting behaviour change in adolescents regarding those health behaviours. The risk of bias assessment was performed by using the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP)—Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies. Fourteen studies were included. Most were in a school setting, non-probabilistic and relatively small samples. All had a short length of follow-up and were theory driven. Thirteen showed significant positive findings to support web-based interventions’ effectiveness in promoting health behaviour change among adolescents but were classified as low evidence quality. Although this review shows that web-based interventions may contribute to health behaviour change among adolescents, these findings rely on low-quality evidence, so it is urgent to test these interventions in larger controlled trials with long-term maintenance.

“…For example, culturally adapted IMIs yielded beneficial results for individuals with NCDs, namely obesity, CVDs and diabetes. [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] While the number of studies regarding culturally adapted IMIs is increasing, it is important to explore these studies' effectiveness and herewith contribute to the development of evidence-based culturally adapted IMIs to promote health behaviours in these underserved populations. Unlike previous reviews, we aim to investigate in a systematic review and meta-analysis whether IMIs can be provided effectively to diverse populations if they are culturally adapted.…”

Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis of culturally adapted internet- and mobile-based health promotion interventions

IntroductionHigh rates of immigration pose challenges for the healthcare systems of many countries to offer high-quality care to diverse populations. Advancing health interventions with incorporating the cultural background of diverse populations can be helpful to overcome this challenge. First studies suggest that culturally diverse populations might benefit from culturally adapted internet-based and mobile-based interventions (IMI) to promote health behaviours. However, the effectiveness of culturally adapted IMIs for health promotion interventions has not been evaluated systematically. Therefore, the aim of this review is to assess the effectiveness of culturally adapted IMIs regarding health promotion. Additionally, the cultural adaptation features of these interventions will be outlined.Methods and analysisRandomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effectiveness of culturally adapted IMIs to promote health behaviours in the field of healthy eating, smoking cessation, alcohol consumption, physical activity and sexual health behaviour will be identified via a systematic search of the databases MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CENTRAL. The preliminary search has been conducted on the 26 August 2019 and will be updated in the process. Data will be pooled meta-analytically in case of at least three included studies reporting on the same outcome. Moreover, a narrative synthesis of the included studies will be conducted. The risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for the Quality Assessment of RCTs V. 2.0. Publication bias will be assessed using funnel plots.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required for this study. The results of this study will be published in a peer-reviewed international journal.PROSPERO registration numberPROSPERO; CRD42020152939
