The participants were scored “one” for “yes” answer, and “zero” for “no” or “do not know” answer. The total knowledge score ranged between 0-24 and will be categorized as poor (=60%), fair (60=75%) or good (?75%).;Students' self-protective behaviors regarding COVID-19. Timepoint: two months post intervention. Method of measurement: Protection motivation theory scale: it assessed the protection motivation factors regarding COVID-19 pandemic.
