The SEAM trial was introduced from January 2009 in 14 schools across six sites in the Northern Territory (NT). An additional six trial sites, including 30 schools, began in selected Queensland (QLD) locations during October 2009. The trial ended on 30 June 2012 in both the NT and QLD trial sites. This report is the final evaluation of the SEAM trial. It uses a mixed method approach (quantitative and qualitative analysis) to evaluate the implementation of the SEAM trial and its effectiveness over the entire trial period. The purpose of the final evaluation is to provide evidence on whether the SEAM trial achieved its desired outcomes, and to inform further policy development in relevant areas. -- Introduction,
