Proxy Young: peer-to-peer dissemination of prevention through "Proxy Young Series", a video series created by young students involved in the Proximity Care project
Every Wednesday a video pill to promote health and discuss sensitive teenage issues
Proxy Young, the line of the Proximity Care project that aims to improve services and interventions for promotion and prevention for youth lifestyles, launches "Proxy Young Series": five video pills, made by ISI Barga students involved in the activities, for health promotion among adolescents. Among the topics, which arose from previous moments of reflection among secondary schools, researchers, were alcohol and drug abuse, mental well-being and sexual health.
Proximity Care, promoted by the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna and Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca, carried out in particular by the interdisciplinary research center Health Science, with the participation of the School's institutes and with the support of the Tuscany Region, Azienda USL Toscana Nord Ovest and Fondazione Monasterio, deemed it essential to dedicate a line of the project to adolescents in remote areas by making them protagonists of the activities and implementing communication tools suitable both for the promoters, the young people themselves, and for the target audience preferring a peer-to-peer approach.
The short serie in pills will be available on all social channels of the Proximity Care project and on the official website, with a new episode every Wednesday.
