Knowledge, attitudes and practices about air pollution and its health effects in 6^th to 11^th-grade students in Colombia: a cross-sectional study

We aimed to determine children´s and adolescents' air pollution knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) and identify factors associated with high knowledge, a positive attitude, and good practices towards air pollution. To answer our research questions, we conducted a cross-sectional study on 1,676 students from grades 6–11 in five municipalities in Colombia. We applied a validated knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) questionnaire that had not been used in Latin American countries
