Summary

The main aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a new component on gambling prevention to be added to the evidence-based school based prevention curriculum "Unplugged". The evaluation of effectiveness will be performed by conducting a non-randomized cluster controlled trial in classes of pupils 12 to 14 years old. Classes will be allocated to the intervention arm (receving Unplugged + the gambling component) or to the control arm (usual curriculum, no specific intervention).

The intervention includes 12 prevention units and a 13th unit focused on gambling. It will be carried out by Unplugged teachers trained in a specific training course. Data collection will take place before and after the intervention through a standardized questionnaire developed ad hoc and containing previously validated questions.
