BACKGROUND
Air pollution exposure has been associated with a multitude of diseases and poses a significant concern to public health. For targeted environmental risk communication and interventions to be effective, it is important to correctly identify characteristics associated with worry of harm from air pollution.
METHODS
Using responses from 3,630 participants of the Health Information National Trends Survey 4 Cycle 2, we assessed worry of harm from exposure to indoor (IAP) and outdoor (OAP) air pollution separately. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals.
RESULTS
Hispanics were more likely to worry about harm from IAP and OAP compared to non-Hispanic whites. Participants who lived in metropolitan counties were more likely to worry about harm from IAP and OAP compared to those who lived in rural counties. Finally, those who believed their chance of getting cancer was high were more likely to worry about harm from IAP and OAP compared to those who thought their likelihood of getting cancer was low.
CONCLUSIONS
Worry of harm from IAP and OAP varied across sociodemographic and cancer-related characteristics. Public health professionals should consider these characteristics when developing targeted environmental risk communication and interventions.
背景
空气污染暴露与多种疾病有关，对公众健康构成重大威胁。为了使有针对性的环境风险沟通和干预措施有效，正确识别与对空气污染危害的担忧相关的特征非常重要。
方法
我们使用健康信息国家趋势调查 4 周期 2 中 3630 名参与者的回复，分别评估了对室内（IAP）和室外（OAP）空气污染暴露的危害的担忧。使用多项逻辑回归模型计算比值比和 95%置信区间。
结果
与非西班牙裔白人相比，西班牙裔更有可能担心室内和室外空气污染的危害。与居住在农村县的人相比，居住在大都市区的人更有可能担心室内和室外空气污染的危害。最后，那些认为自己患癌症的几率高的人比那些认为自己患癌症的几率低的人更有可能担心室内和室外空气污染的危害。
结论
对室内和室外空气污染危害的担忧因社会人口统计学和癌症相关特征而异。公共卫生专业人员在制定有针对性的环境风险沟通和干预措施时应考虑这些特征。
