BACKGROUND
Studies have shown an increase in mortality and morbidity during heatwaves, especially among the elderly. We assessed the knowledge of the general population of Brussels and Amsterdam on groups at risk and protective measures for heat-related health effects.
RESULTS
Six locations with mixed populations were selected in each city. Passer-by's in both cities were asked to participate in a short survey. Respondents in Brussels (n = 120) had significantly more knowledge on risk groups and protective measures than respondents in Amsterdam (n = 133). In both cities, individuals with higher education had better knowledge on risk groups and protective measures than individuals with lower education.
CONCLUSIONS
Efforts at heat-awareness raising must be strengthened, especially in Amsterdam, and public health actions should effectively target vulnerable groups with lower education in both cities.
背景
研究表明，热浪期间死亡率和发病率会上升，尤其是在老年人中。我们评估了布鲁塞尔和阿姆斯特丹普通民众对与高温相关健康影响的风险群体和保护措施的了解情况。
结果
在每个城市选择了六个人员构成混杂的地点。两个城市的路人都被要求参与一项简短的调查。布鲁塞尔的受访者（n = 120）比阿姆斯特丹的受访者（n = 133）对风险群体和保护措施的了解明显更多。在两个城市中，受过高等教育的人比受教育程度较低的人对风险群体和保护措施的了解更好。
结论
必须加强提高对高温的认识的工作，尤其是在阿姆斯特丹，并且公共卫生行动应有效地针对两个城市中受教育程度较低的弱势群体。
