A research article based on the graduation thesis of one of our laboratory alumni has been accepted for publication in the international academic journal Journal of School Health.

This scoping review examined the association between active learning with peer-to-peer health communication in school health education and health-related behavior change among elementary and junior high school students. The findings suggest that peer-communication–based active learning may support short-term behavior change, while further research is needed to evaluate the sustainability of such changes and improve the quality of outcome measurement.

This work provides important insights for advancing school health education and strengthening primary prevention through interactive learning.
