We investigated personal protective behaviors against West Nile virus infection. Barriers to adopting these behaviors were identified, including the perception that DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide and related compounds) is a health and environmental hazard. Televised public health messages and knowing that family or friends practiced protective behaviors were important cues to action.
我们调查了针对西尼罗河病毒感染的个人防护行为。确定了采取这些行为的障碍,包括认为避蚊胺(N,N - 二乙基 - m - 甲苯胺及相关化合物)对健康和环境有害。电视上的公共卫生信息以及了解家人或朋友采取了防护行为是重要的行动提示。
