Article Synopsis
- The increasing prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) has made it crucial to implement primary prevention programs aimed at promoting long-term behavior changes in youth to reduce future disease risks.
- School-based initiatives are essential in this effort, but their design and evaluation are complex and require a combination of educational and health expertise for effective outcomes.
- To improve the assessment of these programs, there is a need for a multidisciplinary approach that combines educational and health perspectives, ensuring a thorough understanding of both immediate behavior changes and their long-term impact on health metrics.
