NCT ID NCT07702591
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a six-week school program designed to improve health literacy in children aged 9-10. The program uses games, storytelling, role-playing, and discussions to help kids understand and use health information. Researchers are comparing health literacy scores between children who take the program and those who do not, to see if the approach works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a six-week classroom-based educational program using games, storytelling, role-playing, and discussions
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could provide a simple, scalable way to improve health literacy in elementary school children, helping them make better health decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with 128 children in one region, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not produce lasting changes in health literacy.
