Consanguineous marriage is traditionally common throughout the eastern Mediterranean region. Research has suggested that it is closely linked to the sociocultural and socioeconomical status of individuals, and education plays a critical role in decreasing the number of cases. This study aimed to determine the effects of a formal training programme on consanguineous marriages on the knowledge of, and attitudes towards, consanguineous marriage of high school students (n=804) in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Seniors from three randomly selected public high schools participated in the pre-test and post-test design study. To determine the effects of the programme, students who received the training were compared with those who did not receive any formal training about the subject. After the post-tests were administered, data were collected and analysed using chi-squared and McNemar tests. The results showed significant differences in knowledge and attitudes among the students who had received the formal training programme and those who had not. In addition, the results indicated potential peer influence between the students who received training in consanguineous marriage and those who did not.
表亲婚在整个东地中海地区传统上很常见。研究表明，它与个人的社会文化和社会经济地位密切相关，而教育在减少这种婚姻的数量方面起着关键作用。本研究旨在确定对土耳其地中海地区高中生（n=804）进行正式的表亲婚姻培训计划对其表亲婚姻知识和态度的影响。从三所随机挑选的公立高中中挑选高年级学生参加预测试和后测试设计研究。为了确定该计划的效果，将接受培训的学生与未接受任何有关该主题的正规培训的学生进行了比较。在进行了后测后，使用卡方检验和 McNemar 检验收集和分析数据。结果表明，接受正规培训计划的学生与未接受培训的学生在知识和态度方面存在显著差异。此外，结果还表明，接受表亲婚姻培训的学生之间存在潜在的同伴影响，而未接受培训的学生之间则没有。
