Impact of Sensitization on School Teachers' Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting During National Deworming Day: A Prospective Quasi-Experimental Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSchool teachers play a crucial role in executing administration of single dose albendazole to school children on National Deworming Day (NDD). Effective reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) during such mass administration of medicines at the time of such public health programmes is vital for several policy decisions on safety. The study aims to evaluate teachers' knowledge and attitudes on ADR reporting regarding NDD and assess the impact of a sensitization program.
methodA total of 163 school teachers from 94 schools in the district, who gave informed consent were included. The study utilized a pretested and prevalidated questionnaire, scored on a 0-10 scoring scale. Employing a prospective quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test research design, the primary aim was to evaluate the impact of the awareness program, with secondary objectives focused on demographic correlations with program effectiveness.
resultsThe study shows a significant improvement in participants' scores from the pre-test (mean score of 5.60) to the post-test (mean score of 8.28), resulting in a mean deviation of -2.68±1.74 (p < .001), suggesting that the intervention significantly enhanced outcomes. Additionally, the results indicate that the mean post-test score was slightly higher among urban participants in comparison to rural participants, with mean scores of 8.45 and 8.10, respectively.
conclusionThe sensitization program significantly improved the knowledge and attitude of school teachers engaged in NDD regarding ADR reporting. However, long-term studies on the impact of this improvement in knowledge and attitude on actual ADR reporting need to be planned.
