Effectiveness of an e-Bug–based antimicrobial resistance education intervention: A prospective quasi-experimental study among Grade 12 students in Mogadishu, Somalia
The e-Bug educational module is an effective tool for improving AMR knowledge among secondary school students in Mogadishu. However, the persistence of critical misconceptions, particularly regarding the use of antibiotics for viral illnesses, highlights the need for sustained and reinforced educational efforts. Integrating the e-Bug module into the national curriculum and developing targeted public health campaigns are recommended to address these deep-seated misunderstandings and combat the growing threat of AMR in Somalia.
