The link between education and effective disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a familiar concept. It is important to further investigate this potential association due to the increased frequency of natural hazard-induced disasters secondary to climate change. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between educational attainment and resilience to natural hazard-induced disasters in St. Kitts and Nevis. We hypothesize that educational attainment is positively associated with resilience. Participants were selected via convenience sampling. Educational attainment and resilience were ascertained in 343 adult (age ≥ 18 y) residents of St. Kitts & Nevis using a structured and self-administered questionnaire. Data such as demographics, education, and information related to natural hazard-induced disasters was gathered. Logistic regression models analyzed the association between educational attainment and resilience after adjusting for age, sex, race, average monthly income, and island of residence. Compared to those with no more than primary school education, adults with a professional education were significantly more likely to be resilient (POR 2.39 CI [1.08, 5.28]). In contrast, the odds of resilience among adults with no more than secondary school education compared to the referent group was not significant (POR 0.99 CI [0.52, 1.89]). Professional school education positively associates with resilience to natural hazard-induced disasters. However, since this represents a minority of the population, there should be greater efforts to increase disaster preparedness education in primary school, secondary school, and within the community to further build resilience to natural hazard-induced disasters.

教育与有效减少灾害风险（DRR）之间的联系是一个熟悉的概念。重要的是，由于气候变化继发的自然灾害引发的灾害发生频率增加，因此进一步研究这种潜在的关联。这项研究的目的是分析圣基茨和尼维斯的受教育程度与对自然灾害引起的灾害的抵御能力之间的联系。我们假设教育程度与复原力呈正相关。通过方便抽样选择参与者。使用结构化且自我管理的问卷调查，确定了圣基茨和尼维斯（St. Kitts＆Nevis）的343名成人（年龄≥18岁）居民的教育程度和适应力。收集了诸如人口统计，教育以及与自然灾害引起的灾难有关的信息之类的数据。逻辑回归模型在调整了年龄，性别，种族，平均月收入和居住岛屿之后，分析了受教育程度与复原力之间的关联。与没有接受过小学教育的人相比，接受过专业教育的成年人更有可能具有韧性（POR 2.39 CI [1.08，5.28]）。相比之下，接受过中学以上教育的成年人与参考人群相比，恢复力的几率并不显着（POR 0.99 CI [0.52，1.89]）。专业学校教育与抵御自然灾害引起的灾难具有积极的联系。但是，由于这只占人口的少数，因此应加大力度，在小学，中学，
