Article Description

Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) on the sustainability in two populations of university students. Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectional analytical study with university students. Findings: The scale employed showed remarkable psychometric properties of reproducibility and validity. Besides, KAP levels were found to be related in the studied population, with higher levels of knowledge and attitudes than those of practice. Knowledge was found to be related to educational cycle and age, attitudes with sex and age and practices with age. Originality/value: This is one of the few studies in the field of KAP related to sustainability and environmental issues in using a validated psychometric scale. As a consequence, this study also offers methodological details necessary to make comparisons with similar populations in other countries.
