What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Increasing consumption of fruit and vegetables in the experimental group

    It was measured by using Healthy Habits Questionnaire. (Item 1:How many servings of ruits or vegetables do you eat a day? (One serving is most easily identified by the size of the palm of your hand.) There is no scoring for this questionnaire.

    Measured: Up to six months

  2. Decreasing screen time of adolescents in the experimental group

    It was measured by using the Healthy Habits Questionnaire. (Item 5:How many hours a day do you watch TV/movies or sit and play video/computer games? There is no scoring for this questionnaire.)

    Measured: Up to six months

  3. Increasing physical activity level of adolescents in the experimental group

    It was measured using the Healthy Habits and Physical Activity Questionnaire. In Healthy Habits Questionnaire Item 8:How much time a day do you spend in active play (faster breathing/heart rate or sweating)? was used. The Physical Activity Questionnaire is a 7-day recall-based measurement tool designed to assess overall physical activity levels throughout the school year.The minimum score for each item of the questionnaire is 1 and the maximum score is 5. The minimum score to be obtained from questionnaire is 9 and the maximum score is 45. Item 10 is not included in scoring.

    Measured: Up to six months

  4. Decreasing consumption sugary drinks of adolescents in the experimental group

    It was measured by Healthy Habits Questionnaire (Item 9:How How many 8-ounce servings of the following do you drink a day (soda,fruit juice,sport drinks)

    Measured: Up to six months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Increasing consumption water and milk of adolescents in the experimental group

    It was measured by using Healthy Habits Questionnaire (Item 9:How many 8-ounce servings of the following do you drink water/milk a day?)There is no scoring for this questionnaire.

    Measured: Up to six months

  2. Increasing healthy lifestyle attitude scale score of adolescents in the experimental group

    It was measured using the healthy lifestyle attitude scale. The scale was composed of 14 items to determine adolescents' attitudes toward nutrition, physical activity, and sleep behavior. The responses are scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to agree (5) strongly. The Cronbach's alpha of the original scale is 0.84 and the item-total score correlations are between 0.43 and 0.68 .

    Measured: Up to six months

  3. Increasing adolescent nutrition knowledge of adolescents in the experimental group

    It was measured using the adolescent nutrition knowledge scale. The scale consisted of 20 items and was developed to determine the level of knowledge about nutrition in adolescents, such as the types of nutrients, portion size, and eating habits. The answer categories of each question are structured as "yes", "no" or "do not know". The Cronbach's alpha of the original scale is 0.86, and item-total score correlations are between 0.13 and 0.59.

    Measured: Up to six months

  4. Increasing Adolescent activity knowledge of adolescents in the experimental group

    It was measured using the adolescent activity knowledge scale. The Activity Scale consists of 12 items and was developed to determine the knowledge level of physical activity and exercise in adolescents. The answers categories of each question are structured as "yes", "no", and "do not know". The Cronbach's alpha of the original scale is 0.69, and item-total score correlations are between 0.22 and 0.46.

    Measured: Up to six months

  5. Reducing Body Mass Index of adolescents in the experimental group

    The weight and height of adolescents were measured by the researcher. Tanita Bc-730 was used as a weighing machine. Mesilife Mst-200 was used as a height meter. They were measured in schools. After, body mass indexes were calculated for each adolescent.

    Measured: Up to six months
