Abstract:
Background
Health risk behaviors among teenagers are common and schools considered as an ideal place for conducting preventions programs.
Objectives
The current study aimed at determining the effect of interactive multimedia on knowledge and attitudes of high school teachers regarding prevention of students` health-risk behaviors. Patients and Methods: A total of 150 high school teachers were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Data were collected using a written test on knowledge and a rating scale for attitude towards health-risk behaviors. The educational contents were presented as booklets and multimedia CD-ROMs to the control and intervention groups, respectively. Pretest and posttest were administered before and four weeks after the intervention, respectively.
Results
There was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups regarding the pre- and post-test knowledge and attitude mean scores. However, posttest mean scores of knowledge and attitude showed a significant increase in the two groups.
Conclusions
Interactive multimedia, similar to booklets, could enhance teachers’ knowledge and improve their attitudes toward the prevention of health-risk behaviors.
