Screening strategy

• Positive screening = overweight or obesity and high waist circumference

• Notification of students with positive screening by nurses and medical professional to explain results

• Proposition to participate to external healthcare network

• 2 simultaneous measurements of height, weight and waist circumference by nurses and completing of self-administered questionnaire by student

• Positive screening = overweight or obesity and high waist circumference

• Notification of students with positive screening by nurses and medical professional to explain results
