Summary

Detailed description

The purpose of this trial is to increase children's awareness of randomised controlled trials and gain insights into the best way to conduct a fair comparison. Everyday children are faced with health claims, some reliable and some not so reliable. The purpose of the SMARTY trial is to help children critically assess and develop a critical eye when it comes to information they encounter every day, in particular when it comes to their health. The SMARTY trial is a pragmatic, two group, parallel, randomised trial.
