Student-Led Health Education Intervention Package Enhanced Tuberculosis Prevention in Colleges: A Quasi-Experimental One-Group Pre-Test/Post-Test 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
Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health threat, and colleges are crucial yet challenging settings for sustainable TB control. This study evaluated a standardized, student-led, multi-component intervention package designed to improve TB-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among college students in Zhejiang Province, China. Methods: Conducted across 20 colleges from March 2022 to June 2023, this quasi-experimental one-group pre-test/post-test design study implemented a novel health education intervention package that integrated five activities. KAP data were collected using an electronic questionnaire at baseline and post-intervention. Data on TB patients and delays were collected through the Tuberculosis Information Management System. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used for delay time analysis. Results: Valid responses included 4414 pre- and 4133 post-intervention. Overall, core knowledge of TB increased from 81.6% to 83.4% (P < 0.001). Significant improvements were seen in symptom recognition and care-seeking intent (P < 0.05). Regarding beliefs, the proportion who considered TB health education in schools "very necessary" increased from 53.5% to 57.8% (P = 0.001), while the proportion willing to proactively share knowledge with others rose from 90.9% to 92.5% (P = 0.007). Regarding behaviors, the proportion of current smokers decreased from 3.3% to 2.2% (P = 0.002), and the proportion of students frequently resting after 11 p.m. decreased from 70.2% to 64.3% (P < 0.001). Voluntary care-seeking among TB patients increased from 69.1% to 76.6%, while median patient delay decreased from 3 days to 0 (P < 0.001). Conclusion: This report adds to the literature by demonstrating the effectiveness of a participatory, multi-faceted health education model within the college population. The findings provide a replicable example for campus-based health promotion and offer clear implications for strengthening institutional public health strategies.
