Summary

This study tested whether three weekly sessions of basic disaster awareness education could improve disaster literacy and reduce earthquake anxiety in adolescents aged 10-14. A total of 128 students from two middle schools in Erzincan took part, with half receiving the education and half serving as a control group. Researchers measured changes using standard scales for disaster literacy and earthquake anxiety.

What this could lead to: If it works, this could show that simple school-based education helps teens better understand disasters and feel less anxious about earthquakes.
