Health Promotion Survey Data from a Rural Chinese Middle School Intervention Study

A rural middle school in China was the site for an exploratory study on health promotion interventions. The dataset contains survey results from eighth-grade students, comparing health behaviors and outcomes before and after classroom and extracurricular activities integrated into biology lessons. The data was published by Jie Chen under a CC-BY-4.0 license in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the association between health promotion behavior scores and self-reported health outcomes based on survey results.
• Comparing pre- and post-intervention scores for specific behaviors like exercise and health responsibility.
• Investigating subgroup differences between high and low health promotion behavior groups across physical and mental health dimensions.
• Evaluating the feasibility of curriculum-embedded health interventions for rural adolescent populations.

Strengths

• Dataset includes statistical significance results (p-values and effect sizes r) for key outcome comparisons.
• Focuses on a specific demographic: eighth-grade students in a rural Chinese middle school.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
