Assessing Sustainable Behaviors and Health Impacts of Climate Change

Turkey (Türkiye)38 participantsStarted 2024-01-15

Plain-language summary

The relationship between climate change, sustainability and child health is complex and important. These three concepts are interacting factors and have significant impacts on children's health. Sustainability measures are vital to protect child health by mitigating the impacts of climate change. At the same time, children's education and awareness is an important factor that will contribute to future generations living in a sustainable world. As a society, tackling climate change and striving for a sustainable future is crucial to ensure that children live healthy and safe lives. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the education program and educational videos to be applied to children in terms of environmentally sustainable behaviors and awareness of the health effects of climate change in 60-72-month-old children studying in Eskişehir Odunpazarı Municipality Day Care Center and Nurseries. In addition, in this study, it was aimed to measure the level of global climate change awareness of parents and to evaluate the relationship with children's environmentally sustainable behaviors.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
