Author
Affilliation
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of nudge activities at school on the students’ body mass index (BMI).
Design: School-based factorial randomized community trial. Setting: Eighteen public schools in the municipality of Duque de Caxias, metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Participants and intervention: The 18 schools will be randomized into 4 group arms: group 1—control (without any activity); group 2—will receive educational activities in the classroom; group 3—will receive changes in the school environment (nudge strategies); group 4—will receive educational activities and changes in the school environment. Activities will occur during the 2018
school-year. Main outcomemeasure(s): The primary (BMI) and secondary (body fat percentage) outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after the study using a portable electronic scale with a segmental body composition monitor. The height will be measured by a portable stadiometer. Analysis: Statistical analyses for each outcome will be conducted through linear mixed models that took into account the missing data and cluster effect of the schools. Abbreviations: BMI = body mass index, CONSORT = Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials, PAAPPAS = Portuguese abbreviation of parents, students, community health agents and teachers for healthy eating, Rec24-h = 24-hour recall, SLM = Smarter Lunchrooms Movement.
