The rise in chronic disease has led to new priorities. If they do not address this issue, especially in middle- and low-income countries, the results could be disastrous for sustainable development and human quality of life. To ensure that people, especially children and adolescents, have the right to life and well-being, it is therefore necessary to develop and validate new strategies that have a positive impact on the social determinants of health. Collaboration between health and education professionals, as well as institutions, is crucial for working on health promotion in children and adolescents, according to the guidelines. These complex but unquestionably more effective efforts are made to encourage the knowledge, attitude, and behaviour required to ensure a healthy lifestyle, particularly during childhood and adolescence. The application of ecological models to programme design is demonstrated by recent developments in the field of school health promotion. Collaboration between health and education professionals, as well as institutions, is crucial for working on health promotion in children and adolescents, according to the guidelines.
