这项横断面研究评估了农村成年人预防铅中毒的知识。俄亥俄州三个农村县的居民被随机抽取，通过电话回答了15个真/假铅中毒预防问题和12个人口统计学问题。由于并不是所有的居民都有手机，这项调查也是通过Dillman(1978)的邮寄调查方法邮寄给了这三个县的没有手机的妇女、婴儿和儿童(WIC)接受者。这两组受访者平均正确回答了三分之二的问题。在随机抽样(n=1211)中，正确的得分与年龄、失业、女性、高中及以下文化程度、在前一周内未接受过预防铅中毒教育有关。没有手机的WIC受访者(n=69)的铅知识得分较低的预测因素包括年龄(22岁和27岁)、失业、婚姻状况(已婚)、居住类型(独栋住宅或公寓除外)以及子女较少。大多数受访者能够识别出铅中毒的高危人群，铅中毒可能是通过摄入含铅油漆碎片以外的其他方式发生的，铅中毒会导致儿童长期学习问题，血液测试是用来确定血铅水平的。受访者对铅暴露的方法和预防措施的重要性了解较少。农村居民在预防铅中毒知识方面存在差距，教育工作应侧重于缩小这些差距。
This cross-sectional study assessed rural adults' knowledge of lead poisoning prevention. Residents of three rural Ohio counties were randomly selected to answer 15 True/False lead poisoning prevention questions and 12 demographic questions via telephone. Because not all residents have a phone, the survey was also mailed to Women, Infants and Children (WIC) recipients without phones in the three counties using Dillman's (1978) mailed survey methods. Both groups of respondents correctly answered an average of two-thirds of the questions. In the random sample (n = 1,211) correct scores were related to being elderly, unemployed, female, having a high school education or less, and not being exposed to lead poisoning prevention education during the previous week. Factors predictive of lower lead knowledge scores for the WIC respondents without phones (n = 69) were age (22 and 27 years), unemployment, marital status (married), type of dwelling (other than a single family home or apartment), and having fewer children. Most respondents were able to identify groups at high-risk for lead poisoning, that lead poisoning could occur in ways other than ingestion of lead paint chips, lead poisoning results in long-term learning problems in children, and a blood test is used to determine blood lead levels. Respondents were less knowledgeable about methods of lead exposure and the importance of prevention measures. Gaps in lead poisoning prevention knowledge exist for rural residents and educational efforts should focus on decreasing these gaps.
