Summary
Description of the condition Musculoskeletal and back Health of school aged children is a global health problem with evidence that the prevalence of these problems is increasing (Rajan & Koti, 2013; Yao, Mai, Luo, Ai, & Chen, 2011). With the incidence of musculoskeletal pain reported in adult populations but increasingly in young people” knowing whether back health educational programmes are effective on spinal health, ergonomics and posture is a very important consideration for all stakeholders: pupils, teachers, parents, researchers as well as clinicians. Bonell et al (2013) concluded that whilst there is definitely the potential for school environment interventions to promote young people’s health, the evidence base is far from definitive Completing such an educational programme may help children improve their knowledge and develop an understanding of the importance of postural, ergonomic and spinal back‐health education for the prevention of back pain at a young age as well as later in adulthood. As research in this area is still controversial, a systematic review conducted with state of the art, high‐quality Campbell Collaboration methodology is urgently needed to update all stakeholders (parents, children, teachers, researchers and clinicians) with the latest evidence to help inform policy and practice in this area of public health
