- W2183930403 abstract "Michael 2005; 2: 211‐35. Summary Context: The willingness in a population to accept measures against hazards and diseases depends on the perception of health risks involved. Studies on health risk perception in the general population are lacking in Latvia. Objective: To study risk perception of communicable diseases in a sample of adults in Latvia. Design and setting: Data were collected in ten general practices in Latvia October 2001. Every fifth patient visiting the general practitioners (GPs) during two weeks was requested to participate in a structured interview performed by a nurse. Subjects: 199 patients aged 18-78 years; 65% were females. Results: More than half of the respondents perceived that they were at high risk of contracting communicable diseases, especially food borne infections. Twenty eight percent of the patients thought that they had a high or very high risk of attracting lung tuberculosis, and an additional 20% perceived this risk as being moderate. Only 19% had a high or very high confidence in preventive measures against communicable diseases, but 58% had high or very high confidence in treatment. More than half regarded their knowledge about communicable diseases as rather low. Conclusion: There seems to be a substantial perception of risk of communicable diseases among adults in Latvia. This is combined with a low confidence in preventive measures, but a high trust in treatment. Latvia probably has important preventive potentials in strengthening general health education about public health matters, and in particular in relation to the prevention of communicable diseases." @default.
