Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Recruitment and retention rates of peer-supporters and non-peer supporter Year 8 girls (measured between September 2015 - March 2016, approximately) 2. Data provision rates, in order to estimate questionnaire and accelerometer provision rates for a full trial (measured between September 2015 and November 2016) 3. Acceptability of the training and intervention to stakeholders (peer-supporters, pupils, parents, peer-educators and schools) (measured post-intervention, between March-May 2016, approximately) 4. Feasibility of gathering the permissions needed to conduct data linkage to long-term outcomes (between September 2015-December 2017) 5. Feasibility of collecting information needed to conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of the intervention (measured throughout the intervention period, approximately January-April 2016)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Accelerometer-determined daily minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. This is the likely primary outcome in a definitive trial 2. Self-reported mode of travel to school (active vs passive) 3. Self-reported leisure-based sedentary behaviour 4. Self-esteem, health-related quality of life and potential mediators of the intervention (such as self-determined physical activity motivation and peer-norms) will be assessed All secondary outcomes will be measured at three time points: September 2016 - November 2015; March-April 2016; September-November 2016
