Abstract
Aims: To compare online video and pamphlet education in improving the knowledge of high school students toward COVID and to assess satisfaction with the two educational approaches. Materials and Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 240 girl students received either online, video-based education or pamphlet-based education or that described the methods of dealing with COVID-19 and description of COVID-19 symptoms as well as a control group that received no intervention. Their knowledge was assessed at baseline and 12 weeks after group-specific intervention. Results: Participants in both groups had similar levels of baseline knowledge. Poststudy analysis showed significantly greater improvement in the knowledge scores from video group members compared to the pamphlet group (P = 0.003). Both pamphlet and video groups significantly achieved better scores than the control group (P < 0.001). Finally, the video group rated their education method more useful and appealing than the pamphlet group (P = 0.018). Conclusion: Video-based learning is a more effective educational tool for teaching methods of preventing and transmitting of coronavirus disease than written materials.
