Public Health Interventions
Spinal Health Education

Background:

Spinal pain is a significant issue in pediatric populations.
School-based interventions are utilized to address spinal health.
No prior systematic reviews existed on this specific topic.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of school-based spinal health interventions.
Assess impact on spinal care knowledge, behaviors, and pain prevalence.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature review of studies on school-based spinal health interventions.
Searched 11 databases and hand-searched journals; checked references and contacted authors.
Two independent reviewers assessed quality and extracted data; narrative synthesis used for analysis.

Main Results:

Twelve studies were included, all rated as "weak" quality.
Interventions may improve spinal care knowledge and decrease spinal pain prevalence.
Evidence regarding changes in spinal care behaviors remains inconclusive.

Conclusions:

The effectiveness of school-based spinal health interventions is limited by the poor quality of existing research.
Further high-quality studies are needed to confirm findings on knowledge, behavior, and pain reduction.
