Description
Khairunnisa Makmon and co-authors trial a theory-based flood education module for teenagers in Selangor, Malaysia, in a 2026 randomized study. Floods strike Malaysia often and adolescents are especially exposed, yet readiness can blunt harm. A single lesson built on a threat-and-coping model reached 140 students across eight schools, while 147 peers waited as controls. Readiness index scores were taken before, right after, and three months later.
Readiness scores jumped in the taught group right after the lesson and stayed clearly higher three months on. Waiting controls showed no such gain. The authors credit the theory frame for designing teaching that converts risk awareness into action rather than fear. School programs of this kind are offered as a route to tougher adolescent resilience against recurring floods.
