Can a school program make kids care about climate change?
NCT ID NCT07429513
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new program designed to help middle school students (ages 11-13) develop a sense of responsibility toward climate change. The program is based on two well-known theories about how people form beliefs and make decisions. Researchers will measure changes in students' environmental attitudes and behaviors using surveys. The goal is to see if the program can encourage young people to act in more environmentally friendly ways.
