TYPE 2 DIABETES
A firm action to take in the prevention of type-2 diabetes is keeping adolescents under control in every place where they spend their time. School setting is considered crucial in promoting and implementing positive changes to adolescents’ habits School health strategies are a critical component of multidisciplinary and population approaches that are needed to combat the adolescent type 2 diabetes epidemic. The findings of this study demonstrated that intervention in the form of peer education in school setting raised adolescents’ knowledge, changed their attitude, and offered them practical knowledge of type-2 diabetes. Since peer-education intervention had never been implemented in school settings, this study can set an example and give an insight into the practicalities of peer education. It might as well provide the foundation for future studies to investigate the effectiveness of this approach, particularly, in cases where exploiting peer networks is an option.
