Sponsor's own description

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.
