简要总结
The study will occur in ten selected schools within Azam Basti and Mehmoodabad, organized into five sequential phases. Phase I involves identifying NCD modifiable risk factors among younger peers (Classes 5 and 6 students) using structured diaries. Phase II includes qualitative interviews with youth (Classes 9 and 10 students), parents, and stakeholders to discuss intervention material and delivery. Phase III comprises a one-day workshop to co-create an intervention. Phase IV involves three-day training for youth to understand and deliver the intervention to their peers. Finally, Phase V assesses the intervention's feasibility using a pre-and post-test design approach.
