ABSTRACT

The international literature will guide the development of the Fife Project by ensuring that evidence-based decisions are made regarding the use of effective engagement activities. The project builds upon an innovative research intervention carried out in Fife secondary schools in 2014. Informed by an asset-based approach, co-production and co-design, the 'Pop-Up Radio Project' sought to creatively engage with pupils in Fife's secondary schools in order to explore the impact of two tobacco-education school interventions – Smoke Factor and Smoke-Free Class. The programme of sessions outlined in the Fife Project meets the aim of "Getting it right for every child", which is to put children and their families at the heart of decision making. Policy and research debates around the health and wellbeing of young people have identified the need to examine effective youth strategies and explore the role of adolescents in designing and delivering services.
