Attitudes of high school students toward genetically modified organisms and their knowledge about this topic

Original language description

We investigated attitudes of Czech high school students&apos; toward genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their knowledge about GMOs and looked for correlation between them. In this pilot study, 185 Czech students from 6 different high schools completed a survey using a translated and modified questionnaire. The mean attitude of students toward GMOs was positive. Free-time activities, teachers and the frequency of purchase of organic food had an influence on students&apos; attitudes toward GMOs. An influence of father&apos;s education planned studies&apos; focus, and students&apos; attitudes toward biology on knowledge about GMOs was found. Students&apos; attitudes toward and knowledge about GMOs did not correlate.
