The abstract clearly identifies the public health issue—the mpox outbreak in Ethiopia—and emphasizes the need for emergency preparedness and public awareness. The background context is well-explained, setting the stage for the study. The significance is highlighted by citing case numbers and mortality rates in other African countries. However, the objective could be more explicitly stated. While implied in the context, a succinct statement such as "To assess public awareness, emergency preparedness, and response readiness for mpox in Ethiopia" would enhance clarity.
