Description

The article concludes that the e-learning module's significant improvements in knowledge and self-reported preventive behaviors "support the integration of environmental health training into medical curricula and highlight the potential of scalable e-learning interventions to strengthen preventive competencies in primary care." This principle rests on the module's measured gains: a mean 55.56 percentage-point knowledge improvement and 2.13-point behavior improvement, both at P<.001, with high satisfaction.
