The effect of educational intervention based on the mobile application on women's knowledge, attitude, and practice on microplastics and health: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The pervasive issue of microplastic (MP) contamination is undeniable. The primary solution to this global problem lies in significantly reducing the amount of plastic entering the environment. Addressing such a large-scale issue is no easy feat. However, a necessary strategy involves public education. In parallel, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to evaluate the effect of interventional education via a mobile phone application on improving women's knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding the health effects of MPs.

Methods

This randomized controlled trial includes three phases. In the first phase, a questionnaire assessing women's knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding microplastics will be developed and validated. In phase two, educational
