Correlates of hazards education for youth: a replication study

Abstract: Youth and families have been identified as particularly vulnerable to the effects of hazardous events. This study examined correlates of hazards education involvement for youth. Participants were 407 youth between the ages of 7 and 18 who filled out several indices reflecting hazards awareness, risk perceptions, psychological factors, knowledge, and adoption of hazards adjustments and family emergency plans. Additionally, interactive factors were assessed, the extent to which education programs encouraged yout… Show more

“…Consistent with previous research (e.g. Finnis et al 2010;Ronan et al 2010), the children also suggested that knowing how to respond to a bushfire emergency helped to assuage their bushfire-related fears. For example, when asked if he was worried about bushfires in his area, Jared (8 years, Macedon) responded, ''No, I'm not because our family's got a fire plan and stuff''.…”

“…American Bar Association 2009; Kilmer et al 2010;Shaw et al 2012). Although a substantial proportion of this research has focussed on children's psychosocial adjustment in the aftermath of disaster (Masten and Narayan 2012;Pfefferbaum et al 2013), a small but growing body of research has focussed specifically on children's knowledge and education (Ronan and Johnston 2005;In the most empirically rigorous studies to date, Ronan and colleagues Ronan and Johnston 2003;Finnis et al 2004;Finnis et al 2010;Ronan et al 2010) used quantitative questionnaire-based methods to investigate the influence of school-based hazards education on a range of variables, including children's knowledge of protective response behaviours for various hazards (i.e. floods, storms, structural fires, earthquakes, snow storms and tsunami).…”

“…Only 18 years (youths) or older from a variety of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds were considered for the interview. The questionnaire survey criteria used in this study were adopted from the suggestions made in the available books and literatures (Kuroiwa 1993;McMillan and Schumacher 1993;Andrews et al 1998;Thorne 2000;Henning et al 2004;Tanaka 2005;Ronan et al 2010;Lekalakala 2011), and they were embedded together within a single survey sheet.…”

“…Campaigns often use printed leaflets (Bird et al 2010), village elder gatherings (Cronin et al 2004) and radio broadcasts and typically include schools' disaster awareness (Ronan et al 2010), elderly or disabled social outreach, and early warning systems (Garcia and Fearnley 2012). Nevertheless, despite such public awareness campaigns, communities often remain reluctant to engage with government communication agendas.…”
