Neglecting oral hygiene in adolescents negatively affects dental caries and periodontal diseases, in addition to social and emotional well-being. Thus, the TikTok platform (ByteDance, Beijing, China)as a social media could be a powerful channel to provide health-related information and educational content. This study aims to assess the quality of the TikTok videos corresponding to #oralhealtheducation. Sixty-nine videos were identified. Three oral health professionals (OHP), three health education professionals (HEP), and ten of TikTok’s target audience watched and evaluated the videos from a qualitative questionnaire. OHP detected false or incorrect information in 11.6% (8/69) of the videos. At least two HEPs reported being unable to detect this type of content or whether the video met dental ethics standards in both the videos. Disagreement was observed among the professionals themselves. The evaluation indicated that TikTok’s target audience was satisfied with the products viewed with an average score of >2.5, unlike the professionals, whose average score was <2.5 on a scale of 0 to 5. Users are advised to think critically and to consider the content of TikTok oral health videos with caution. The involvement of health professionals in the writing and validation of the videos could be an added value to positively respond to the needs of the adolescents.

Background: Capacity building and community-level participation are important to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of health promotion programmes, as well as to promote empowerment and decision-making power. However, stakeholders’ participation in the design and implementation of health promotion projects often involves the provision of information and consultation rather than partnership or citizen control, especially in school settings. Co-creation could be a means to support higher levels of participation, yet its definition remains unclear. A further challenge relates to the methods needed to promote participation. Examining what co-creation represents for health promoters could help in both of these respects. Objectives and goals: This study explored how school health promotion professionals perceived and defined co-creation to gain insight into how to encourage co-creation processes in school-based health promotion. Methods: Qualitative data including documents and illustrations were collected during creative thinking activities undertaken with school health promotion professionals. All data collected were transcribed and analysed using a three-stage screening process. Results: Co-creation is a multi-dimensional construct. Based on our findings, it is a voluntary-based process of bottom-up collaboration informed by values of diversity, mutual trust, openness, autonomy, freedom, respect and shared expertise, responsibility and decision-making. Co-creation can result in out-of-the-box, new or improved tailored health-promoting practices and projects, which address a co-defined need, for the benefit of all members of the group. Conclusion: Co-creation is timely and key in school health promotion practices. Further research is needed into the specific competences needed to promote co-creation, as well as the methods used to evaluate achievements and added value of co-creation at different levels of implementation.

Cette recherche étudie la relation entre l'intérêt et le bien-être en s'appuyant sur des données récoltées auprès de 1 192 élèves de collèges et de lycées appartenant à quatre classes différentes (6 éme , 3 éme , seconde, terminale). Trois dimensions de l'intérêt (scolaire, français, mathématiques) sont mesurées au moyen de l'Échelle multidimensionnelle d'intérêt académique (EMIA) et sont mises en relation avec la satisfaction de vie scolaire et la satisfaction de vie générale de l'élève. Les résultats mettent en évidence un déclin de l'intérêt de la 6 ème à la 3 ème pour l'intérêt scolaire et l'intérêt en français. Une diminution similaire de l'intérêt en mathématiques est également observée mais cette dernière se poursuit jusqu'en seconde. Un sursaut significatif des trois formes d'intérêt est mesuré en terminale par rapport à la seconde ou à la troisième, mais il reste en deçà de l'intérêt en 6 ème. Un modèle en piste causale valide également le lien entre l'intérêt et le bien-être. Il montre que l'effet des intérêts spécifiques aux deux matières prises en compte par l'EMIA est médiatisé par l'intérêt scolaire qui renvoie plus globalement à l'intérêt pour l'apprentissage.
