对于在经常空中喷洒杀虫剂的地区，旁观者如何看待使用杀虫剂的风险，人们知之甚少。这项研究旨在更好地了解哥斯达黎加利蒙省三个县的旁观者(学校工作人员)是如何感知他们工作和生活地区的农药风险的，这些人与农业生产没有合同关系。对475名学校教职工进行了面对面调查，其中455人回答了全部33个农药风险认知问题。一项探索性因素分析表征了人们对农药暴露的潜在看法。9个因素解释了总差异的40%，涉及感知风险的严重程度和大小、可管理性、好处和对使用杀虫剂的支持等。随后，我们使用独立的多变量线性回归模型分析了哪些变量解释了这五个因素，并获得了令人满意的内部一致性。年长的学校工作人员、(男性)小学教师和女学校工作人员(特别是来自农地附近空中喷洒杀虫剂的学校的工作人员)感到使用杀虫剂的风险更大和/或更大。这项研究表明，旁观者担心使用杀虫剂带来的健康风险。他们的风险认知不仅像以前文献中报道的那样，受到性别和年龄的影响，还受到职称和地理环境的影响。了解人们关心的危害以及他们如何处理这些危害对于成功的风险管理至关重要，因此，旁观者应被视为围绕农药问题的辩论中的相关行为者，并为制定法规和减少风险战略提供信息。
Little is known about how bystanders perceive risks from pesticide use in areas with frequent aerial spraying of pesticides. This research aims to better understand how bystanders (school workers) from three counties of the Limón province in Costa Rica, who did not have a contractual relationship with agricultural production, perceive risks of pesticides in the areas where they work and live. A face-to-face survey was carried out among 475 school workers, of whom 455 completed all 33 questions on pesticide risk perception. An exploratory factor analysis characterized underlying perceptions of pesticide exposure. Nine factors explained 40% of total variance and concerned severity and magnitude of perceived risk, manageability, benefits and support of pesticide use, amongst others. We subsequently analyzed what variables explained the five factors with satisfactory internal consistency, using separate multivariable linear regression models. Older school workers, (male) elementary teachers, and women school workers (particularly from schools situated near agricultural fields with aerial spraying of pesticides), felt greater severity and/or magnitude of risk from pesticide use. This study shows that bystanders are concerned about health risks from pesticide use. Their risk perceptions are not only shaped by gender and age like previously reported in the literature, but also by job title and geographical context. Understanding of what hazards people care about and how they deal with them is essential for successful risk management, bystanders should therefore be considered as a relevant actor in debates around pesticide issues and for informing the development of regulations and risk reduction strategies.
