结局指标
主要结局
Level of Parental Knowledge and Awareness About Air Quality
时间窗: At baseline (single survey administration)
The primary outcome is the overall score obtained from the Air Quality Knowledge and Behavior Questionnaire, reflecting parents' knowledge and awareness regarding air quality and air pollution. The composite score will be derived from the 5 knowledge and 10 awareness items, each rated on a Likert scale (e.g., 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). Higher total scores indicate greater knowledge and awareness of air pollution, its sources, and its health effects.
