Can a 20-Minute video make teens Disaster-Ready?
NCT ID NCT07781527
First seen Aug 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a short, purpose-built educational video can strengthen high-school students' belief in disaster preparedness and their perception of disaster risk. About 144 students from twelve classes at one school in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, will be randomly assigned to watch either the disaster-education video or a general health video. Questionnaires measure changes in risk perception and preparedness belief right after the session and again four weeks later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Audiovisual disaster-education module (a 20-minute educational video on disaster preparedness)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this video could become a simple, scalable tool to help young people in disaster-prone areas better understand risks and feel more prepared to act.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial in a single school, so results may not apply broadly. The video aims to change beliefs and perceptions, not actual disaster outcomes, and its effects may fade over time.
