Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Related to Cholera Outbreak Among Medical Students in Yemen: A Cross-Sectional 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
Background Cholera is a potentially life-threatening diarrheal disease if left untreated, transmitted via contaminated water or food, and linked mainly to poor sanitation. Yemen is facing a public health crisis with an increasing number of cases in 2024, underscoring the importance of improving awareness and the need for education to enhance prevention and management. Methods This observational cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2024. The data were collected via a self-administered online questionnaire. Inferential analysis included independent t-tests for comparing two groups and one-way ANOVA for multiple groups, with a statistical significance threshold of p<0.05. Results The study surveyed 412 Yemeni medical students, predominantly male (65.5%) and single (86.7%), with a mean age of 22.48±2.6 years. The mean knowledge score was 7.35±2.36, and significant knowledge gaps in recognizing the range of severity of the disease, risk factors, complications, and vaccine awareness exist. The mean attitude score was 11.45±2.13 out of 15, with 70% showing a positive attitude. The practices score was poor, with a mean of 4.32±2.18 out of 9, with low adherence to preventive measures such as washing and peeling fresh fruits and vegetables (<30%). Our analysis showed significant associations, with age positively correlating with knowledge (r=0.262; p<0.001) and attitudes (r=0.17; p<0.001), while females scored higher in practices (p=0.002). Academic year significantly influenced knowledge (p<0.001) and attitudes (p=0.003), with sixth-year students scoring the highest. Conclusion While the Yemeni medical students demonstrated moderate knowledge and a generally positive attitude toward cholera, significant gaps in preventive practices were noted. Addressing these gaps through targeted educational programs on disease prevention, transmission, and management is essential to strengthen students' preparedness and improve public health outcomes.
