NCT ID NCT07379983
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether posters or pamphlets could improve environmental health knowledge among 500 adolescents in Karachi, Pakistan. Students received age-appropriate lessons on climate change, water safety, and waste management through either posters or pamphlets over three months. Researchers measured changes in knowledge and eco-friendly practices before and after the program. The goal is to find the best way to teach teens about environmental health in schools.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Poster or infographic pamphlet
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that simple printed materials effectively boost teens' understanding of environmental health and encourage eco-friendly habits.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study in one city, so results may not apply elsewhere. It measures knowledge changes, not actual health outcomes, and the effect may fade over time.
