Are we asking the right questions? A dive into the knowledge, attitudes, and practices literature on behavior change in tick bite prevention
Tickborne diseases (TBDs) pose significant public health challenges within the United States. Public education is an important TBD intervention if it leads to attitudinal or behavior change. Public health campaigns seeking to improve adoption of tick bite prevention practices among at-risk communities often use knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) surveys to understand individual-level factors that influence behavioral decisions. Surveys tha…
Integrating tick density and park visitor behaviors to assess the risk of tick exposure in urban parks on Staten Island, New York
By integrating acarological indices with park visitor behaviors, we found a mismatch between areas with higher tick densities and areas more frequently used by park visitors. However, this exposure risk varied among demographic groups, the type of activities and parks, with a higher probability of human-tick encounters in trails compared to open spaces. Furthermore, we showed that people's KAP did not change across parks even if parks represented…
Reconciling the Entomological Hazard and Disease Risk in the Lyme Disease System
Lyme disease (LD) is a commonly cited model for the link between habitat loss and/or fragmentation and disease emergence, based in part on studies showing that forest patch size is negatively related to LD entomological risk. An equivalent relationship has not, however, been shown between patch size and LD incidence (LDI). Because entomological risk is measured at the patch scale, while LDI is generally assessed in relation to aggregate landscape…
