Abstract:
With the rapid global increase in the prevalence of tuberculosis, health
promotion is crucial to raise communal health awareness. This servicelearning
health promotion activity aimed to increase awareness of TB
amongst school learners in attendance at the 2016 National Science Festival.
A computer-based pre- and post-intervention quiz, an educational poster, an
interactive word search game, and a take-home information leaflet were
utilized in a health promotion exhibit.
Junior and senior school learners who participated in the exhibit showed
significant improvements in their post-educational intervention scores. The
exhibit was effective as a preliminary measure in reinforcing health
information and raising awareness.
