Rakuns: Setting-based Prevention Program to Promote Positive Experiences in Health Promoting Lifestyle Choices

Population based intervention at elementary school setting aimed at contributing, to a major extent, to health education and health promotion for children aged approximately 5-10 years in Germany. Health education units with theoretical and practical exercises for use by teachers, children, and parents addresses physical activity, sedentary behavior, relaxation, nutrition, personal hygiene and body awareness.

Main questions of the pilot are:

Does health promotion take on an important role in primary schools? How do teachers evaluate training materials, homepage, content and framework conditions? How do teachers assess the efficiency of teaching units?
