The effectiveness of an awareness counselling program in improving the degree of compliance with traffic rules among university youth

Abstract

This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of an awareness guidance program in improving the degree of compliance with traffic rules among university youth. The study sample consisted of 20 male students at King Faisal University in Al-Ahsa Governorate during the second semester of the academic year 2021–2022. Participants were divided equally into experimental and control groups of 10 students. The study used a traffic rules compliance scale and an awareness guidance program (prepared by the researcher) that was used with the experimental group members. The study's findings revealed the success of the awareness guidance program in improving compliance with traffic rules among the young university drivers who were members of the experimental group. This improvement in compliance with traffic rules was still present even after a month of follow-up.
