Summary

This study aims to assess the impact of the HEALS-Child action project on children's health in rural China. The goal of the project is to evaluate the effectiveness, feasibility, safety and cost-effectiveness of two salt reduction strategies: replacing usual salt with salt substitute in school meals, and replacing bowls with trays in school cafeteria. The study has two parts: the main study evaluates the salt substitute intervention, and the ancillary study evaluates the tray intervention. In the main study, over 16000 students from around 320 elementary or junior high school in rural China will be cluster-randomized into the two groups: 1. Salt substitute 2.usual salt. The primary outcome in the main study will be the change in systolic blood pressure. In the ancillary study, over 500 students from 10 elementary or junior high school will be cluster-randomized into the two groups: 1. meal trays 2.bowls. The primary outcome in the ancillary study will be the change in spot urine sodium. The interventions will last over 1 years. To evaluate the impact of interventions, 50 students were randomly selected from each school.
