The influence and impact of life style educational programs and in particular in health has been recognized by literature, however, studies which systematize it are limited. With the objective of assessing the effectiveness of educational interventions a systematic review was done following Prisma Guidelines. Articles to be included were identified by MEDLINE, LILACS and EMBASE Database between January and May 2016. Twenty four articles were selected. The total subjects participating in the assessed studies was 3 426 and 58% were younger than 17 years. It was corroborated that this kind of program is a suitable resource to produce lifestyle changes, particularly in early ages, so as it is emphasized that interventions involving the family are highly effective.

Keywords : health care (Public Health); clinical trial; early intervention (Education); life style.
