Evaluation of an innovative school eye health educational mode

G V Murthy et al. Indian Pediatr. 1994 May.

Abstract

An innovative mode of using school children as health educators for transmitting messages on eye health care in the school environment was evaluated. Fifty children were evaluated at baseline and immediately after the educational session. A significant change in cognitive aspects of eye care was demonstrated (p < 0.001). Knowledge on vitamin A related aspects and childhood ocular trauma improved substantially compared to all other aspects of eye care.
