Omani senior secondary school students’ knowledge of and attitudes to antibiotic resistance

Abstract

<p>This dataset comprises data from one survey undertaken with senior secondary Omani students and a tightly-structured interview undertaken with secondary Omani students and their teachers.</p> <p>The survey is an adaptation of a WHO instrument and included questions related to gender, age and rurality of the school attended. It was translated into Arabic and back translated into English to ensure validity of the translation. The Arabic version was further trialled using a number of senior secondary classes in Omani schools as well as specialists in the schools of health education in both the Ministries of Education and Health to check the content and translation validity.</p> A subset of the survey respondents and some teachers were interviewed using a brief, tightly structured interview protocol of 5 questions to enable a more in-depth understanding of students and teacher knowledge of antibiotic resistance and the contributing factors.
