人畜共患病是一种全球公共卫生威胁。了解人们对与这些疾病相关的风险的看法，可以更好地为减轻其当前和未来影响的相应政策干预提供信息。虽然个体人畜共患疾病（例如牛海绵状脑病）已经得到了科学和公众的关注，但我们对多种人畜共患疾病在非专业风险认知方面如何相互变化知之甚少。为此，我们使用在线调查检查了英国公众对11种人畜共患病的看法，涉及12个定性风险属性（n = 727，志愿者样本）。我们发现，属性评级主要通过与公众知识和恐惧相关的两个基本风险维度来解释。我们还表明，尽管参与者报告对大多数疾病的熟悉程度较低，但人畜共患病被认为基本上是可以避免的。这些发现意味着，感染被视为取决于个人控制下的行动，这对政策制定具有重大影响。
Zoonoses represent a global public health threat. Understanding lay perceptions of risk associated with these diseases can better inform proportionate policy interventions that mitigate their current and future impacts. While individual zoonoses (e.g. bovine spongiform encephalopathy) have received scientific and public attention, we know little about how multiple zoonotic diseases vary relative to each other in lay risk perceptions. To this end, we examined public perceptions of 11 zoonoses across 12 qualitative attributes of risk among the UK public (n = 727, volunteer sample), using an online survey. We found that attribute ratings were predominantly explained via two basic dimensions of risk related to public knowledge and dread. We also show that, despite participants reporting low familiarity with most of the diseases presented, zoonoses were perceived as essentially avoidable. These findings imply that infection is viewed as dependent upon actions under personal control which has significant implications for policy development.
