Sumario:BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had an immense impact on psychic health. Children and adolescents are considered especially vulnerable which is why health promotion and prevention programs are important and should be designed in a motivating way to be attractive to this age group. The aim of this work is to investigate whether young people can be reached with the help of innovative digital formats for health promotion. METHODS: An app-based training to promote self-regulation was offered to adolescents in lower secondary education in autumn 2020. Data were collected using an app. The types of motivation to participate in the training were analyzed. In addition, the students were able to rate the attractiveness of the training with the help of a self-designed evaluation sheet. RESULTS: Of the 91 registered participants, 39.56% completed the study. In all, 40.91% of the students stated that the training was “very” helpful and 36.36% rated it as “quite” helpful. Although 50% of the respondents found the app-based training “modern and motivating”, the other half would have preferred more personal support. CONCLUSION: The results confirm previous study results with health apps in children and adolescents. This age group is interested in digital formats, but health apps are not used continuously in this age group unless obligatory.
