                Informed Health Choices (IHC) project has developed learning
                resources to teach primary school children (10 to 12-year-olds)
                to assess treatment claims and make informed health choices. The
                aim of our study is to explore both the students' and teachers'
                experience when using these resources in the context of
                Barcelona (Spain). " - " During the 2019-2020 school year, we
                will conduct a pilot study with 4 " - " and 5 " - "-year primary
                school students (9 to 11-year-olds) from three schools in
                Barcelona. The intervention in the schools will include: 1)
                assessment of the IHC resources by the teachers before the
                lessons, 2) non-participatory observations during the lessons,
                3) semi-structured interviews with the students after a lesson,
                4) assessment of the lessons by the teachers after a lesson, 5)
                treatment claim assessment by the students at the end of the
                lessons, and 6) assessment of the IHC resources by the teachers
                at the end of the lessons. We will use " - " questionnaires and
                guides to register the data. We will perform a quantitative and
                qualitative analysis of the data to explore understandability,
                desirability, suitability, usefulness, facilitators and barriers
                of the resources. The most relevant results will be discussed
                and some recommendations on how to use, how to adapt (if
                needed), and how to implement the IHC resources to this context
                will be agreed. The findings of the contextualization activities
                could inform the design of a cluster-randomised trial, to
                determine the effectiveness of the IHC resources in this context
                prior to scaling-up its use. " - " The study protocol has
                obtained an approval exemption from the Ethics Committee of the
                Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (Barcelona, Spain)."
