InterventionThe participants who are randomised to the intervention group will receive the prevention program. Trained teachers will carry out 9 sessions of regular classes, 1 - 2 sessions a week, 45 minutes each. During the classes they will teach the participants about nutrition and well-being, media competency, self-esteem, problem solving, stress management, and dealing with appearance-related social pressure. Materials and methods include DVDs, games, discussions, quizzes, leaflets, questionnaires, homework and teamwork.
