Inclusion Criteria

In this multicenter study, each center (i.e. country) selects a catchment area to create a pool of schools. The catchment area can be defined by its geographical location and/or demographical and/or political variables (e.g. a municipality, city, etc.) and which of these variables should be applied is decided by the individual center. First, a list of all schools within that area is obtained, and the following inclusion criteria is then applied, in order to create a pool of schools which are eligible for study recruitment:
1. The school authority agrees to participate
2. The school is public
3. The school contains at least 100 pupils within the age range of 14-16
4. The school has more than two teachers for pupils aged 15
5. No more than 70% of the pupils are of either sex (within those school class/es where pupils will be recruited)
6. Informed consent from pupils (and parents when applicable) is obtained

Remaining is a list eligible schools. This list is then randomized so that the schools appear in a random ?contact order? and they are then contacted accordingly and asked to participate in the study. If the first school declines the request (school participation is voluntary), the second school on the list is contacted, and so forth. When the target sample size is (estimated to be) reached, an information session is
organized in the respective schools where pupils (14-16 years old) and their teachers are informed about the study and asked to participate. All participants are thus registered pupils of the selected schools.

Only pupils who voluntarily agree to participate by supplying written consent are included. No further participant inclusion or exclusion criteria are used.
