School-age children who do not practice safe food behavior are at risk of experiencing health problems. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of education with mind map methods on safe food behavior in school-age children. The study design was a quasi-experimental with pre- and posttests design, involving 88 school-age children, and each group consisted of 44 respondents who were divided into intervention group and control group. Multistage random sampling was used to determine the research area and school where the research was conducted, while the research subject was selected using simple random sampling. Measuring instruments used questionnaires from previous researchers regarding food safety behavior in school-age children. The results showed that the mind map method significantly affects knowledge (p-value = 0.000), attitude (p-value = 0.000), and skill (p-value = 0.000) for safe food. This study recommends that the mind map method be applied in an effort to improve clean and healthy living behavior in school-age children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Anxiety is one of the psychological effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on adolescents.

Methods: Using a cross-sectional approach, this is descriptive correlation research. 168 Indonesian high school students in grades 7 through 12 made up the study's entire sample. It was done through inadvertent sampling. The tool utilized was a questionnaire with 13 questions about adolescents' understanding of Covid-19, including 10 questions about transmission anxiety. Results: In the transitional phase, teenagers' anxiety was linked to the avoidance of Covid-19 transfer, according to a Spearman rank analysis (p 0.034; 0.05). Conclusion: Adolescents may feel anxious when they adapt to new routines. This is significantly related to actions taken to stop the spread of Covid-19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
