Using an Educational Tool to Teach Elementary and Middle-School Students in Lebanon About Microbes, Antibiotic Use and Antimicrobial Resistance: A Pilot Study
Teaching elementary and middle school students about the concept of microbiology, antibiotic use, hand, and respiratory hygiene, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can shape their future behavior to become antibiotic guardians. Education on AMR and antibiotics is proven easier in childhood than adulthood with an already established knowledge and behavior about the topic. We aim to assess the impact of an educational interventional tool about microbes, infection spread and prevention, antibiotics, and AMR on boosting baseline knowledge and awareness about these topics.
The Role of Social Media During the COVID-19 Outbreak: A Multi-National Cross-Sectional Study Across Thirteen Countries
Social and mass media are lucrative sources of information that allow overcoming cross-cultural, inter-, and intra-cultural communication barriers. During the COVID-19 outbreak, social and mass media-initiated awareness campaigns and education while also portraying the virus as an imminent threat to humanity. This risk perception led to collective fear and panic that encouraged people to self-medicate. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the predictors of self-medication during the COVID-19 pandemic and assess the attributable role of social and mass media across thirteen countries.
