Abstract

These findings suggest that the Explo'Santé program supports the development of key psychosocial competencies, but that the transition to middle school represents a critical turning point which challenges their sustainability. By highlighting gendered vulnerabilities and contextual inequalities, this work contributes to understanding how schoolbased health promotion can foster more equitable developmental trajectories.
