A Simple Random Sampling Method Is Employed To Select 385 Drivers From A Comprehensive List Of Eligible Drivers Provided By The Tehran Taxi Organization. This List Serves As The Sampling Frame, And A Random Number Table Or Random Number Generator Is Used For Participant Selection. This Random Sampling Ensures That Each Driver Has An Equal Opportunity To Be Included In The Sample, Thereby Minimizing Selection Bias. Following Participant Selection, A Pre-Test Is Conducted To Evaluate Air Pollution-Reducing Behaviors Among All 385 Drivers. Based On The Pre-Test Results, Approximately 80 Drivers With The Lowest Scores In Air Pollution-Reducing Behaviors Are Identified And Selected. These 80 Drivers Are Then Randomly Assigned To Either The Intervention Or Control Groups. A Random Number Table Or Generator Is Utilized For The Random Allocation Of Participants To The Groups, Ensuring Equitable And Unbiased Group Assignment, Blinding description: Although, During The Selection Phase Of Participants For The Intervention And Control Groups, The Researcher Remains Unaware Of The Group Allocation Of The Participants Until The Final Stage (I.E., The Assignment Of Participant Codes), Blinding Is Practically Impossible During The Intervention Phase Due To The Nature Of The Educational Program. However, In The Data Analysis Phase, Blinding Is Applied To The Data Analyst To Prevent Any Potential Bias. Additionally, During The Data Collection Phase, The Evaluators Collecting The Data Are Fully Blinded To The Group Status Of The Participants To Ensure That Assessments Are Conducted Without Any Influence From The Participants' Group Allocation. N/A Air-polluting Behaviors Caused By Drivers.. Intervention 1: Intervention Group: An Intervention Group That Preferably Receives The Training Sessions In Person. Intervention 2: Control Group: Does Not Receive Any Training Or Intervention.
