Abstract
Henna Mäkelä is a researcher working in public health, focusing on vector-borne diseases and their surveillance. With a background in geography, she is currently doing her PhD in epidemiology on a topic of vector-borne diseases. Henna will present her work conducted within a Finnish VECLIMIT-consortium and shares results from a national level KAP-survey related to endemic vector-borne diseases in Finland. The aim for the questionnaire study was to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices of Finnish residents concerning these diseases and to reveal misconceptions that may represent obstacles in behaviour change. The study showed that Finnish residents have obvious gaps in and misconceptions in knowledge and practices for vector-borne diseases, especially tick-borne diseases.
