Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increased knowledge about adequate and healthy eating that will be verified through a self-completion questionnaire with a total score varying from 0 to 75 points. This questionnaire was constructed based on the guidelines of the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population. The adolescent will be presented to 15 affirmations about adequate and healthy eating and express his/her agreement by a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 - "I do not agree at all" to 5- "I totally agree." A variation of at least 1.5 points is expected in the general knowledge score about adequate and healthy eating, comparing pre- and post-intervention measurements, to consider the intervention as successful | — |
