We used comparative analysis to evaluate the effect of the training on improving knowledge about hypertension among children and adolescents. Results A total of 390 participants attended all the training sessions and completed two valid questionnaires. The post train-ing total mean scores had increased by 8.4 points. The mean scores for the four areas, including preva-lence (18.6±4.4 vs. 16.7±4.3), risk factors (12.6±3.5 vs. 10.0±3.5), target organ damage (11.4±5.7 vs. 9.0±5.3), and interventions and treatments for hypertension in children and adolescents (16.0±6.7 vs. 14.6±5.9), had also all increased, and the difference was statistically significant (P |
