The purpose of our intervention is to promote healthy lifestyles among adolescents and their families for improving their health and prevent disease. Through coordination with the school or teacher, in a class between 12 and 17 years old pupils, will pose undergo a practical test or exam, the realization of an interview by the group of school children to a healthcare professional, on the general theme "health".
