This is a three-year project that will evaluate how active mobility programmes influence healthy lifestyles and mental well-being among secondary-school adolescents, aged 11 to 16 years. Specifically, the project will evaluate two existing active mobility to and from school interventions in Bogotá, Colombia: (i) Al colegio en bici (cycling) and (ii) Ciémpies Caminos Seguros (walking). Using the lessons learned from this location, the project will test how to implement a similar pilot intervention involving adolescents from disadvantaged urban communities in Maputo, Mozambique. A context where large shares of children and adolescents walk to and from school but there are no clear policies or programmes that see this active mobility as an opportunity to promote healthy lifestyles and mental well-being. This approach, best known as implementation research seeks to draw attention to the health impact of active mobility policies in different urban contexts in low and middle-income countries. The project is structured in four groups of activities that we call work packages. The first and second packages will focus on documenting active mobility 'to and from' school intervention in Bogotá and assessing their impact on health and well-being. The third package will focus on South-south knowledge exchange by co-creating a similar intervention for pilot implementation in Maputo. Finally, the fourth package will focus on building equitable collaborations across different stakeholders and disciplines to facilitate international dialogues and knowledge exchange and capacity building process between Bogotá and Maputo institutions, policy makers, implementation partners, and adolescents participating in the project. In the end, this project aims to inform policy with new thinking and evidence demonstrating that active mobility 'to and from' school interventions are an opportunity to promote healthy lifestyle practices, mental well-being and the reduction of common non-communicable disease risk factors among adolescents in low- and middle-income countries.

这是一个为期三年的项目，将评估主动出行计划如何影响 11 至 16 岁中学生的健康生活方式和心理健康。具体来说，该项目将评估哥伦比亚波哥大现有的两种往返学校的主动交通干预措施：(i) Al colegio en bici（骑自行车）和 (ii) Ciémpies Caminos Seguros（步行）。该项目将利用从该地点吸取的经验教训，测试如何对莫桑比克马普托贫困城市社区的青少年实施类似的试点干预措施。在这种情况下，大量儿童和青少年步行上下学，但没有明确的政策或计划将这种积极的出行视为促进健康生活方式和心理健康的机会。这种方法被称为实施研究，旨在引起人们对低收入和中等收入国家不同城市背景下积极流动政策对健康的影响的关注。该项目由四组活动组成，我们称之为工作包。第一个和第二个包将重点记录波哥大“往返”学校的主动流动干预措施，并评估其对健康和福祉的影响。第三个一揽子计划将重点关注南南知识交流，共同为马普托试点实施制定类似的干预措施。最后，第四个一揽子计划将侧重于在不同利益相关者和学科之间建立公平的合作，以促进波哥大和马普托机构、政策制定者、实施伙伴和参与该项目的青少年之间的国际对话、知识交流和能力建设进程。最后，该项目旨在以新的思维和证据为政策提供信息，表明积极的“进出”学校流动干预措施是促进低收入和中等收入国家青少年健康生活方式、心理健康和减少常见非传染性疾病风险因素的机会。
