Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
An action group (6 - 8 pupils) was conducted at each school. Brainstorm sessions about effective strategies to change sleeping behavior in this population were held. Strategies, perceived as effective by the target population, will be summarized in an overview. Also feedback of adolescent, who are not part of the action group, will be asked. After feedback, the intervention will be developed by the intervention schools. Thereby, three different intervention strategies will be implemented and tested (one intervention at each school) to meet the individuals needs of each school. The action groups will develop the intervention materials during sessions this year. Afterwards, they will implement the intervention themselves in collaboration with teachers of the school and the researchers.
