- Abstract:
- Intervention programmes are one of the ways how to educate children and adolescent in rational nutrition and healthy lifestyle and to improve their dietary habits. They can be an important tool in prevention of health problems related with nutrition such as childhood obesity or development of osteoporosis. The purpose of this work was to evaluate effectiveness of rational nutrition and healthy lifestyle intervention programmes for children and adolescents up to age of 18. The effectiveness of six selected intervention programmes was evaluated by questionnaire survey at schools which have been participating in these programmes. Questionnaires were completed in online form by children of age from 6 to 19. The number of respondents ranged from 19 to 159. The obtained data were evaluated by using the score ranged between one and minus one depending on the effectiveness of the programme (to what extent the program has met its goals). The obtained results indicated that the effectiveness of the intervention programmes was very different. The program "Health to schools" with score 0.83 was the most effective programme. Two intervention programmes ("The school full of health" and "Really healthy school") were ineffective according to this score (-0.05 and -0.20).
