Introduction: HIV/AIDS is becoming a growing global danger to mankind. Since the first cases were reported, HIV/AIDS has been spreading at an alarming rate. Background: In India, The age group of 15-24 years accounts for 35% of all AIDS cases, indicating that the younger population is especially vulnerable to epidemics. Methods: The study was based on an interventional evaluatory approach and one group pretest-posttest design used. 60 junior college student samples were collected using Non-probability purposive sampling technique. one way ANOVA and t-test used to estimate the  association between post-test knowledge and posttest attitude score transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS among students of junior college the and the selected demographic variables. Results: This study revealed that the Mean value of the pretest knowledge score was 21.51 and the post-test knowledge score was 26.46 and the standard deviation of the pre-test knowledge score was ±4.96 and the post-test standard deviation was ±5.66. The t-value is 5.09 and the p-value is 0.0001. The mean value of the pretest attitude score was 28.48 and post-test attitude score was 40.25 and the standard deviation of the pre-test attitude score was ±4.13 and the post-test attitude score was ±2.45. The t- value is 18.98 and the p-value is 0.0001. There was a significant association of post-test knowledge score with the source of information about HIV/AIDS and there was no significant association of post-test attitude score regarding transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS.

ObjectivesTo describe: (1) how we developed a concussion module and (2) whether the concussion module is feasible (in terms of relevance, added value and suitability) and enhances knowledge and changes attitude of professional footballers about concussion.Developing the concussion moduleWe developed the concussion module based on two structured and systematic processes. First, our needs assessment (questionnaire and interviews) in professional football (especially players) revealed that a 5–10 min concussion module was needed, ideally disseminated during club visits. Second, the objectives were defined (from published literature and by experts) as to disseminate essential information about what concussion is (definition), how to recognise it and the importance of removing a player with (suspected) concussion from the football field. We included an introductory video featuring a high-profile professional footballer and an animated educational component on defining concussion, recognising it and removing affected players from the field.Feasibility and effectA quasiexperimental study (pretest post-test design) was conducted among 61 professional footballers. These players were asked to complete two questionnaires related to knowledge about and attitude towards concussion and feasibility of the module: one before and one after viewing the concussion module. Potential increase in knowledge and attitude was explored by comparing the pretest and post-test scores of the Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes Survey with the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p<0.05). The mean knowledge score of the participants was stable between tests (Z=213; p=0.16), while mean attitude score increased significantly (Z=331; p=0.01). Nearly all participants (85%–100%) were positive about the relevance, added value, duration and form of the concussion module.ConclusionThe developed educational concussion module leads to better attitude of professional footballers towards concussion.

Introduction: Skipping breakfast may contribute to poor academic and nutritional status among school children. The current study aimed to determine the effect of the ‘MAPAGI’ (Makan Pagi Bergizi) interactive video game on elementary student’s breakfast knowledge and attitude. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental equivalent group study with a pre-post test control group design. In total, 228 students aged 9-11 years were drawn by proportional stratified random sampling from two urban schools and were distributed equally into intervention (IG) and control groups (CG). Both groups were administered with similar printed media for 10-15 minutes. Video game was delivered only to IG for two consecutive days, 30 minutes each day. Pre-test (PT0) was performed a day before leaflet administration, while post-test was performed twice – after leaflet administration (post-test 1/ PT1) and a week after the last video game (post-test 2/PT2). Paired, independent t-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were employed to answer the research questions. Results: The mean changes (PT1-PT0 and PT2-PT0) in knowledge score for IG (4.82±2.53 and 3.25±2.47) significantly differed compared to CG (1.75±2.66 and 1.25±2.69). The mean changes in attitude score for IG (7.16±7.17 and 7.34±7.11) also significantly differed compared to CG (2.83±6.58 and 2.64±6.90). After adjustment for potential confounding factors, there was still a significantly greater score in children’s knowledge and attitude after a week’s administration of MAPAGI video game in IG. Conclusion: ‘MAPAGI’ improved school children’s knowledge and attitude, which may lead to the good behaviour of having breakfast.

Introduction: The knowledge and attitude of dentists toward the use of denture adhesives vary worldwide, and may be affected by different factors. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude of the general dentists toward the use of denture adhesives.  Materials and Methods: In the current cross-sectional study that was done in 2019 in the city of Isfahan, the knowledge and attitude of 151 general dentists toward denture adhesive in the Isfahan city were assessed using a 16-item questionnaire. Besides, the participants' age and gender were recorded as well. Statistical analyses were done by One-way ANOVA and T-test with the 0.05 level of significance. Results: The liquid and powder (57.2%) forms of denture adhesives were the most prevalent favored types of adhesives. The incidence of adverse effects following the adhesives administration (55%) was the most common underlying etiology for the reluctance to use them. The mean of knowledge and attitude scores were (54.22 ± 14.37) and (43.32 ± 14.41), respectively, that both were at an intermediate level. Neither knowledge score (p value = 0.91) nor attitude score (p value = 0.06) was affected by gender. Similar insignificant associations were found for age (p value = 0.31 for knowledge and 0.37 for age) as well. A significant direct association was found between knowledge and attitude (p value = 0.02, r = 0.196). Conclusion: Both of the knowledge and attitude of the studied population were in the intermediate range. Besides, neither their knowledge nor their attitude was affected by age and gender. We observed that the attitude was directly associated with the dentists' knowledge.
