Health Promotion Workshop in Primary School Children

40 participantsStarted 2026-02

Plain-language summary

This study evaluates whether a brief educational workshop can improve knowledge of healthy habits and postural hygiene in primary school children. The study will be conducted in 3rd grade students (8-9 years old) from a primary school in Spain. Children in the intervention group will attend a 45-minute health promotion workshop covering physical activity, correct posture in daily activities, backpack organization and basic musculoskeletal self-care. Children in the control group will not receive the workshop during the initial phase. All participating students will complete a short knowledge questionnaire before and after the workshop period. The study aims to determine whether children who receive the workshop show greater improvement in knowledge compared to those who do not. Participation is voluntary and requires written informed consent from parents or legal guardians. No medical procedures, treatments, access to medical records or biological samples are involved. Data will be coded and treated confidentially.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
