A Youth-centred Preventive Action Approach towards co-created implementation of socially and Physically activating Environmental interventions

Sustainable implementation of effective interventions focused on healthy 24-hour movement behaviours for teenagers is a key challenge. By introducing youth-centred evidence-informed co-creation, YoPA proposes an alternative approach to tackle the complex real-world societal challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities in both Europe and Africa. In this novel participatory approach, teenagers themselves are central to the implementation and evaluation of holistic, systemic interventions tailored to their local communities.
