Objectives: To provide us with some evidence to develop more targeted stroke intervention strategies, improve the health awareness of stroke among children, and advocate the health promotion campaign of "small hands holding big hands" among parents and children, we have conducted a health education program on stroke among primary school students in Dali.
Methods: This study has applied stratified random cluster sampling in Dali of Yunnan, China. We compared the improvement of students' knowledge of stroke before and after our health education program in primary school students of Dali in October 2020.
Background: We aim to describe the prevalence and trends of hypertension among 9-17 school-aged students from 2017 to 2019 in Yunnan, China.

The Students' Health Surveillance Surveys in Yunnan collected date on physical fitness and health status of students in Yunnan through multistage-stratified sampling in 3 prefectures.
