简要总结
The present study, named PEPE project, aims to study the effects of a 9-month postural educational multicomponent intervention on back health in schoolchildren. As well as, this project aims to examine the effectiveness of the intervention on teachers. Total of 2000 children aged 10 to 12 and 20 schools will be randomized into an intervention group (N=1000 children, N=10 schools) and a control group (N=1000 children, N=10 schools). A 9-months intervention program will be implemented. Participants will be evaluated three times: before the intervention (baseline, Month 0), after the intervention (post-test, Month 9) and 6 months after the intervention finished (follow-up, Month 15). The intervention will consist on: (1) nine oral presentations delivered at school, (2) multisubject teaching unit, (3) information campaign widespread by the school (i.e. posters, triptychs, school website, social networks, etc.), and (4) The Back-Care Day at school. The effectiveness of the intervention will be evaluated by means of primary outcomes which include the back-care knowledge of schoolchildren. As well as, a set of secondary outcomes such as daily postural habits, use of a backpack, and LBP prevalence in schoolchildren and among teachers involved will be studied. This intervention will provide new insights into the prevention of childhood LBP which may lead to a better management of this health problem throughout an individuals lifetime.

结局指标
主要结局
Knowledge of back health
时间窗: 16 weeks
Validated questionnaire with Spanish children (Cronbach's alpha = 0.82) will be used to ascertain children's' level of knowledge on back care in daily life physical activities. Specifically, this questionnaire has 24 multiple choice items associated with one of the following categories according to conceptual knowledge: topographicalanatomical knowledge (items 1, 2, 3 and 6); functional-anatomical knowledge (items 4, 5 and 7); habits in standing posture (items 8-10); or seated (items 11-13); or lying (items 23 and 24); habits in carrying heavy objects in a backpack (items 14-18); and how to move heavy loads (items 19-22). Additionally, the questionnaire validated with Spanish schoolchildren and used in Méndez et al. will be used to assess back posture knowledge related to general principles of good body mechanics and fear-avoiding beliefs.
