Addressing the Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues of Healthtech in Education: Insights From Japan

Addressing the Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues of Healthtech in Education: Insights From Japan

These efforts were supported by Japan’s Global and Innovation Gateway for All School Program, which equips students with tablet devices. The introduction of digital technology into school education also has the potential to reduce the burden on teachers, enhance the efficiency and sustainability of observations, and ensure equitable and individually optimized learning environments.

Influence of Personal Traits, Social Relationships, and External Resources on the Development of Emotional Resilience in Children From East London: Protocol for an Observational Accelerated Longitudinal Cohort Study

Influence of Personal Traits, Social Relationships, and External Resources on the Development of Emotional Resilience in Children From East London: Protocol for an Observational Accelerated Longitudinal Cohort Study

We will aim to enroll approximately 1200 children across UK school years 3, 4, and 5 (aged 7-11 years at recruitment) attending primary schools in East London. Children will be assessed at least once a year until they reach the end of their first term of secondary school. Parents/carers and teachers will be asked to complete questionnaires to complement children’s self-reported measures annually.

Effect of the Reassured Self-Compassion–Based School Program on Anxiety, Video Game Addiction, and Body Image Among Rural Female Adolescents: Retrospective Study

Effect of the Reassured Self-Compassion–Based School Program on Anxiety, Video Game Addiction, and Body Image Among Rural Female Adolescents: Retrospective Study

Also, our search failed to identify any mental health school program among Saudi adolescents. Additionally, there is a notable gap in research on the use of self-compassion interventions in populations outside of Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic countries [13]. In Saudi Arabia, specifically, no reports were found on community- or school-based programs for female adolescents using any mental health intervention methods [10,12-16].

Generative Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education—Policies and Training at US Osteopathic Medical Schools: Descriptive Cross-Sectional Survey

Generative Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education—Policies and Training at US Osteopathic Medical Schools: Descriptive Cross-Sectional Survey

In addition to the trainee level, medical school policy makers and educators must consider the systems in which future physicians will work. Physicians should be part of a team with diverse backgrounds and professional training to be most effective. With further AI development, these teams will include AI-powered computer assistants. The team must know how to interact effectively and appropriately with this new “team member,” including how it affects the patients and families they care for.

Body Fat and Obesity Rates, Cardiovascular Fitness, and the Feasibility of a Low-Intensity Non–Weight-Centric Educational Intervention Among Late Adolescents: Quasi-Experimental Study

Body Fat and Obesity Rates, Cardiovascular Fitness, and the Feasibility of a Low-Intensity Non–Weight-Centric Educational Intervention Among Late Adolescents: Quasi-Experimental Study

Despite the alarming trends, evidence-based interventions targeting adolescents in Saudi Arabia, particularly late adolescents in school settings, remain limited [12,13]. Schools provide an ideal environment for implementing cost-effective and sustainable obesity interventions, especially when these programs are theory-driven and tailored to meet the specific needs of the target population [14].

Exploring the Relationship Between Public Social Media Accounts, Adolescent Mental Health, and Parental Guidance in England: Large Cross-Sectional School Survey Study

Using data from the 2023 Ox Well Student Survey, this study aims to explore the relationship between social media account privacy (ie, whether an adolescent has a public social media account versus whether they do not have a public social media account) as a behavioral proxy and their mental health outcomes across this behavior in a sample of English school-going adolescents.

Text Messaging to Extend School-Based Suicide Prevention: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Text Messaging to Extend School-Based Suicide Prevention: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

However, a key challenge for school-based universal prevention programs remains—reaching a large and diverse array of students, especially those who are less engaged with school. The potential for disruptions to typical school schedules, large and small, also highlights the need for more flexible ways to reach students who do not rely on in-school contact alone.

Seasonal and Weekly Patterns of Korean Adolescents’ Web Search Activity on Insomnia: Retrospective Study

Seasonal and Weekly Patterns of Korean Adolescents’ Web Search Activity on Insomnia: Retrospective Study

In the United States, 57.8% of middle school and 72.7% of high school students report insufficient sleep duration (less than 8 hours) [6]. In “Health Behavior School-aged Children” survey data in Canada and 23 European countries, 13.7%-68.0% of adolescents do not meet sleep recommendations on school days [7]. In another study in South Korea, 84.3% of high school students reported weekday sleep of less than 7 hours [8].

Effect of a Web-Based Nutritional and Physical Activity Intervention With Email Support (the EDDY Program) on Primary School Children’s BMI Z-Score During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Intervention Study

Effect of a Web-Based Nutritional and Physical Activity Intervention With Email Support (the EDDY Program) on Primary School Children’s BMI Z-Score During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Intervention Study

The EDDY program was implemented in 2012 in the primary school VS (Volksschule; German for “primary school”) Haebergasse 1120, Vienna, and is part of the school’s fourth-grade curriculum [32]. Thus, all fourth-grade students are candidates to participate in the study with previous consent from their parents or legal guardians. The planned intervention and all anthropometric measurements were performed in the school setting.

Refining the Universal, School-Based OurFutures Mental Health Program to Be Trauma Informed, Gender and Sexuality Diversity Affirmative, and Adherent to Proportionate Universalism: Mixed Methods Participatory Design Process

Indeed, the consistent observation of small, null, and iatrogenic effects of universal school-based mental health prevention activities has garnered significant global attention [21-23], with several editorials calling for a shift in universal approaches for school-based prevention for depression [21,23].
