A cluster randomised controlled trial of an intervention to promote healthy lifestyle habits to school leavers
Physical inactivity and a poor diet predict lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer. Marked declines in physical activity occur during late adolescence, coinciding with the point...
Factors contributing to the experience of shame and shame management
