Summary

This pilot study tests whether a school nurse-led education program can help middle school students better recognize common symptoms like headaches or fatigue and decide when to seek help. About 280 students aged 10-13 will take part, with some receiving the program and others continuing normal activities. The goal is to see if the program improves their health behaviors and use of school health services.
