Trials invites participant authors to submit to our Collection on Long-term Impact of Educational Interventions on Critical Health Literacy in Secondary School Students. 

This Collection of articles focuses on the long-term effects of educational interventions aimed at improving critical health literacy among secondary school students. The featured studies investigate the Informed Health Choices (IHC) secondary school intervention, which is designed to equip students with the skills to assess claims about treatments and make informed health decisions. The Collection compiles evidence from cluster randomized trials and meta-analyses to understand the retention and application of critical health concepts over time.

Please note that this Collection does not accept submissions from non-invited authors.
