There is there is limited information regarding physical activity, sedentary behaviour and dietary habits, focusing on adolescents from socially disadvantaged settings. This may impede the design of public health and educational policies for this population group. The ePlatform for Promoting Health in Schools project, ePro-Schools, will conduct a series of activities to promote health for adolescents in socially disadvantaged settings.
ePro-Schools will evaluate international data to identify the factors that influence physical activity, sedentary behaviour and dietary habits as well as to which extend these lifestyle behaviours are associated with physical and mental health in adolescents from socially disadvantaged settings. 
In addition, ePro-Schools will design and evaluate an intervention delivered via an online platform (eHealth) to promote physical activity and healthy eating, and reduce time in sedentary behaviours. 
The platform will contain interventions previously designed and tested by the research members of the project. These contents will be adapted considering the feedback of adolescents, teachers, school directors and policy makers by means of a market survey and group discussions.
The online platform will contain interventions for adolescents and their parents, teachers and school administration. In this way, the platform will contain intervention inside and outside the school environment. We will test the platform in a random sample of schools that were specifically selected for having the majority of adolescent-students from socially disadvantaged settings.
ePro-Schools will gather all the information generated and design reports and guidance for implementing the ePro-Schools intervention regionally or nationally, especially in the EU-countries. The results of this project will also inform policymakers and the general public on the importance of physical activity and healthy eating for adolescents from socially disadvantaged settings.
