The students were assessed at baseline, followed by a survey. The efficacy of health education was evaluated using the self-comparison method pre- and post-health education.\nRESULTS: The study included 957 and 850 pre- and post-health education participants, respectively. The baseline knowledge of all respondents on myopic symptoms (87.5%), myopia is a risk of eyes (72.9%), myopia prevention (91.3%), myopia increases with age (86.7%), performing periodic eye examinations (92.8%), and one first, one foot, and one inch (84.8%) significantly increased after health education (P&lt;0.001 for all). However, the percentage of students who still did not think it necessary to take breaks after 30-40min of continuous near work was 27.0%. The opinion that \u201cmyopia can be cured\u201d was still present in 38.3%.\nCONCLUSION: Implementing school-based myopia prevention health education improves knowledge, attitudes, and skills regarding myopia among Chinese middle school students.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.18240\/ijo.2023.05.18","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,28]],"date-time":"2023-04-28T06:41:55Z","timestamp":1682664115000},"page":"794-799","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Improving myopia awareness via school-based myopia prevention health education among Chinese students"],"prefix":"10.18240","volume":"16","author":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry, the School of Medical Technology and Engineering, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou 350000, Fujian Province, China;
