Both State Physicist in the Department of Health Negeri Sembilan and the Department of Health Malacca were randomly picked the envelopes which divided the respondents into intervention and control arms. In each state, the radiation worker in the Participants’ Name List will be number coded by the researcher. Only the researcher had access to the radiation workers’ names and the codes and is solely responsible for the safekeeping and confidentiality of all the records. For concealment of allocation, both state physicist from the Department of Health, Negeri Sembilan and Department of Health, Malacca did not know their group allocation. After randomisation complete, the researcher has done systematic random sampling in each group to achieve 79 respondent in each arm. Then, State Physicist invited radiation worker in the intervention group to attend the intervention programme. Thus one of the states was the intervention arm and the remaining state was control arms, Blinding description: A single-blinded technique was employed where the participating radiation worker and the State Physicists were unaware of their group allocation. During the recruitment of radiation worker, prior to the randomisation, all participating radiation workers were informed that the intervention module was provided by the group and stage of study to all participating radiation worker. Thus, the radiation worker was unaware of the group allocation throughout the study. Blinding of the radiation worker was done because awareness of being in the control group might influence their answers in the questionnaires. 3 . Intervention 1: Intervention group : • 2-hour interactive PowerPoint slide presentation was developed base on the baseline results from previous research in Negeri Sembilan. Respondents were informed on the principle, fundamental, epidemiology, prevalence, causes, consequences and prevention of radiation hazard.• Short videos related to radiation protection was attached to the PowerPoint slide presentation.• Reading material for references (pamphlet). • Collateral as reminder (WhatsApp broadcasting). Respondents were reminded to read the pamphlet every 4 weeks until intervention end. The role of the WhatsApp group is to share information, problems and address any misunderstanding regarding radiation protection. Intervention 2: Control group: The Control Group were received 2-hour interactive talk on radiation protection by their state physicist. No - There is not a plan to make this available Justification or reason for not sharing IPD is The data is private and confidential. Most respondent denied sharing their data
