Data was collected using a questionnaire administered through personal interviews. Data analysis employed a range of statistical methods, including frequencies, percentages, weighted averages, chi-squared tests, and Pearson's correlation coefficient, using the SPSS statistical software. One of the most significant findings was that 40.0% of respondents reported a low level of agricultural extension services in raising awareness among rural families about diseases resulting from climate change. The study also found a significant relationship between some of the studied independent variables and both the level of agricultural extension services' effectiveness in educating respondents about climate-related diseases and the extent to which respondents benefited from these services, at significance levels of 0.05 and 0.01, respectively. | ||
