Abstract
Most risk factors for developing non-communicable
diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease, are
established during adolescence. Urgent action is
required to prevent the premature death of this
cohort in Ireland as a result. We conducted a quasiexperiment
combining positive psychology and
lifestyle medicine to help students improve their sleep,
nutrition, stress management, and physical activity.
Here we reflect on our findings and the implications
for school wellbeing policy and practice.
