Summary
This study aimed to determine the effect of basic disaster awareness education on adolescents' disaster literacy and earthquake anxiety levels. A pre-test post-test randomized controlled experimental study was conducted at two middle schools in Erzincan between April-June 2026. A total of 128 adolescent students aged 10-14 (64 intervention, 64 control) were included. Basic disaster awareness education was applied to the intervention group in 3 weekly sessions of approximately 40 minutes each.
