Introduction: Cyprus is located in the Eastern Mediterranean and heavily exposed to desert dust storm (DDS) events, which diminish air quality adversely impact paediatric asthma morbidity. School health visitors (SHVs) play a key role management schoolchildren are pivotal for development of school‐based intervention programs. Objectives: This study aimed examine knowledge, practices perceptions SHVs on management. Additionally, we sought determine factors associated with SHVs’ level engagement programs mitigate DDS‐associated effects. Methods: An anonymous questionnaire was administered all Cyprus. We assessed association between perceived importance real‐life implementation and, addition, preparedness local authorities respond DDS events were compared across categories different sociodemographic characteristics. A binary logistic regression analysis carried out predictors among supporting program DDS. Results: Responses from 78/93 (84%) revealed mean estimates ranging 8.20 (lowest) performing regular check‐ups 9.6 (highest) monitoring student records immunisation status. Significant differences demonstrated most reported extent their implementation. Moderate appreciation 1–5 Likert scale regulatory authorities’ ( M = 3.48, SD 0,88) current 2.66, 0.13) Conclusion: Asthma school settings Cyprus, country highly suboptimal responses during fragmented. Despite low preparedness, authorities, recognise children support plans dust‐mitigation schools.

Background and objective: This study aimed to assess satisfaction with environmental factors during the COVID-19 pandemic key affecting willingness pay (WTP) for improvements using logistic regression analysis.Methods: Cross-sectional survey data of 504 residents Taean-gun in Chungcheongnam-do (South Chungcheong Province), taken from July August 2020, were used.Results: The assessment their five found that natural ecology had highest score, while waste factor lowest score. With respect overall satisfaction, it was regardless gender, age, income, most highly satisfied environment (Taean County). In addition, WTP slightly higher among males than females. Residents 60s or older a monthly income 4 - 4.99 million won likely express improvements. A binominal logit analysis increased concerns (EC), health (EHS) crucial determining health. variables EC have positive (+) relationship WTP, variable EHS has significantly negative (-) WTP.Conclusion: other words, EC, lower EHS, more significance can provide primary sustainable local plans improve public awareness sustainability, strategies prepare post-pandemic life.
