Random stratified sampling method is used. First, an education district is randomly selected from all the education districts, and then, taking into account assimilation, half of the schools are randomly selected for the intervention group (4 schools) and the other half for the control group (4 schools). . We will use a sequence of random numbers generated by (random.org) to assign each school a number from 1 to 2.

We will validate the educational content developed by the researcher based on The Guide educational package using an elite panel including experts in the field of psychology and health education and health promotion.
