First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
