Behavioural attitudes of three-wheeled taxi drivers towards mitigation of on-road air pollution in urban cities in Sri Lanka: a qualitative study from South Asia.

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
abstractObjectives: In recent years, urban areas across South Asia have experienced alarming levels of air pollution, primarily attributed to the rapid growth of motorised transportation. Three-wheeled taxis, commonly known as 'tuk-tuks', constitute a significant portion of the public transport system in Sri Lankan cities, making it crucial to understand the behavioural attitudes of their drivers in addressing on-road air pollution as they are key stakeholders in urban mobility and environmental sustainability. Therefore, this research aimed to contribute valuable insights into the behavioural attitudes of three-wheeled taxi drivers towards mitigation of on-road air pollution. Methods: We recruited 67 three-wheeled taxi drivers to participate in semi-structured focus group interviews and in-depth interviews through purposive sampling. The sample size was determined on the basis of data saturation. We collected data from on-site note-taking, audio recording and transcribing the interviews, and subjected them to content thematic analysis manually. Result: Behavioural attitudes for mitigation were mainly based on efforts to minimise on-road air pollution, perception of minimising on-road air pollution, knowledge, socio-demographic and legislative factors related to behaviour. Conclusion: Behavioural attitudes on mitigation were multi-faceted. To minimise the hazards as well as mitigate air pollution, educating and supporting them financially and by inducing a behavioural change are recommended to safeguard their health.
