Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Active Families

This intervention, based on the methodology of meaningful learning, will have two components: group education aimed at parents (caregivers) and and education directed to children in the reviews in consultation. Group education (caregivers) groups will consist of 6 sessions, which will be given every two weeks, as determined in the program's follow-up annex, in the 3 months after the initial assessment. The content of the sessions is defined in attached annex. Regarding the proposed methodology, it has nuances and tools different from the traditional ones to achieve significant learning in the field of health. It is based on participatory methods and a more profound modification of knowledge, skills, emotions and attitudes than the brief advice that is used in family intervention in scheduled consultations.
