“…O'Neill et al (2016) investigated a curriculum based on principles of HBM and social learning theory in improving the fitness and safety of elementary school students. The results indicated that this curriculum was effective in promoting fitness and safety of students [49]. In explaining this finding, it can be pointed out that providing girls with puberty education based on the model, provides them with a clearer understanding of their bodies, enhances their self-esteem and self-confidence, and adds to their passion for life and motivation for success.…”

Background: As children approach adolescence, they focus increasingly on their appearance and physical attraction due to teenage body-image. Teaching the concepts of adolescent health changes an individual's attitudes towards parts of the body. The health belief model (HBM) is one of the significant pedagogic models in health education. According to this model, the individual's decision and motivation for adopting healthy behaviors depends on three separate categories "personal perception, adaptive behaviors, and probability of performing that action or behavior". This study investigated the effect of teaching puberty health concepts on the basis of a HBM on perceived body image in female adolescents. Methods: A quasi-experimental research design was used in the study. This study was conducted with 60 sixth grade girls in state elementary schools in Yazd, Iran, that were selected with cluster sampling method and assigned randomly into experimental and control groups. The experimental group were educated in the school during eight 45-min sessions based on the HBM, whereas the control group were educated using the traditional lecturing method. The data were collected with demographic and self-body image questionnaires completed before and after intervention. The data were analyzed with SPSS16 using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The mean age of the participants was 12.16 ± 0.74 years. The findings showed that "perceived body image" and "students' self-attitude" improved significantly after intervention; yet, no significant difference was found between the subscales "attitudes towards weight" and "satisfaction with various parts of the body". Conclusion: The results of the study confirmed the efficacy and efficiency of teaching puberty health on the basis of the HBM on improving perceived body image in female adolescents.

Background Evaluations of school-based activity behaviour interventions suggest limited effectiveness on students’ device-measured outcomes. Teacher-led implementation is common but the training provided is poorly understood and may affect implementation and student outcomes. We systematically reviewed staff training delivered within interventions and explored if specific features are associated with intervention fidelity and student activity behaviour outcomes. Methods We searched seven databases (January 2015–May 2020) for randomised controlled trials of teacher-led school-based activity behaviour interventions reporting on teacher fidelity and/or students’ device-measured activity behaviour. Pilot, feasibility and small-scale trials were excluded. Study authors were contacted if staff training was not described using all items from the Template for Intervention Description and Replication reporting guideline. Training programmes were coded using the Behaviour Change Technique (BCT) Taxonomy v1. The Effective Public Health Practice Project tool was used for quality assessment. Promise ratios were used to explore associations between BCTs and fidelity outcomes (e.g. % of intended sessions delivered). Differences between fidelity outcomes and other training features were explored using chi-square and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Random-effects meta-regressions were performed to explore associations between training features and changes in students’ activity behaviour. Results We identified 68 articles reporting on 53 eligible training programmes and found evidence that 37 unique teacher-targeted BCTs have been used (mean per programme = 5.1 BCTs; standard deviation = 3.2). The only frequently identified BCTs were ‘Instruction on how to perform the behaviour’ (identified in 98.1% of programmes) and ‘Social support (unspecified)’ (50.9%). We found moderate/high fidelity studies were significantly more likely to include shorter (≤6 months) and theory-informed programmes than low fidelity studies, and 19 BCTs were independently associated with moderate/high fidelity outcomes. Programmes that used more BCTs (estimated increase per additional BCT, d: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.31) and BCTs ‘Action planning’ (1.40; 0.70, 2.10) and ‘Feedback on the behaviour’ (1.19; 0.36, 2.02) were independently associated with positive physical activity outcomes (N = 15). No training features associated with sedentary behaviour were identified (N = 11). Conclusions Few evidence-based BCTs have been used to promote sustained behaviour change amongst teachers in school-based activity behaviour interventions. Our findings provide insights into why interventions may be failing to effect student outcomes. Trial registration PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020180624

“…Gorely et al observed beneficial changes in physical activity and suppression of age‐related increase in body composition variables using a multicomponent intervention, GreatFun2Run , involving social marketing and media support toward popular local or national events, goal‐focused physical education lessons and emphasis on healthy food choices as part of a holistic approach to children's health education. O'Neill et al reported better nutrition, physical activity, and safety skills in elementary grade school children who received specially designed curriculum lessons over 2 school years. On the other hand, not all interventions are successful either in effecting beneficial change in body composition or increasing physical activity .…”

Promoting Fitness and Safety in Elementary Students: A Randomized Control Study of the Michigan Model for Health

Abstract: The effectiveness of the MMH in promoting fitness and safety supports the call for integrated strategies that begin in elementary grades, target multiple risk behaviors, and result in practical and financial benefits to schools.
