Summary

The aim of this study is to develop a teaching material built on the Five Ways to Wellbeing and investigate its effects on wellbeing and mental health among school pupils aged 10 to 16 years in Moss municipality, Norway. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. How do participating pupils, teachers, and other school personnel experience the teaching material - is it acceptable and experienced as useful?
2. What are the immediate and long-term effects of the teaching material on the pupils' wellbeing and mental health?
3. For whom is the teaching material effective, and what mechanisms may explain potential improvements in wellbeing after exposure to the teaching material?

Pupils will be given a teaching program at school, delivered by their teacher. Participating pupils and their teachers will be invited to complete questionnaires. Some teachers, school leaders, school health nurses, and parents will be invited to share their experiences with the teaching material in focus group discussions.

5Ways@School

The 5Ways@School intervention is a teaching material consisting of five elements; Take notice, Be active, Keep Learning, Connect, and Give. The intervention will be given in an ordinary classroom setting by the class' main teacher in two school hours of 45 minutes each week for six consecutive weeks, i.e., a total of 12 school hours. The teaching sessions will consist of presentations of the five elements, videos, reflection exercises, focused group discussions, creative group work, and giving the pupils small "challenges" to practice what they have learned between the weekly sessions.
