详细描述
This completed cluster randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of a climate change awareness education program on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors among seventh-grade secondary school students. The study was conducted in a public secondary school in Istanbul, Türkiye. Two classrooms were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. The intervention group received a structured, multi-component education program including classroom-based educational sessions, visual reminder posters, interactive quizzes, and eco-friendly reinforcement materials. The control group continued routine education during the data collection period. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and two weeks after completion of the intervention. After post-test measurements, the education program was also provided to the control group.
