Knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) towards endemic vector-borne diseases in Finland
|
|
|
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 Ph.D. in epidemiology on the topic of vector-borne diseases.
|
|
|
|
Henna will present her work conducted within a Finnish VECLIMIT consortium and share results from a national-level KAP survey related to endemic vector-borne diseases in Finland. The aim of the questionnaire study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Finnish residents concerning these diseases and to reveal misconceptions that may represent obstacles in behavior change. The study showed that Finnish residents have obvious gaps and misconceptions in knowledge and practices for vector-borne diseases, especially tick-borne diseases.

Vector-Borne Diseases Stakeholder Mapping in Finland: A One Health Approach
|
|
|
Anniina Kyöttinen is a master’s student of Public and Global Health from Tampere University, Finland, with a bachelor’s degree in Dental Sciences. Currently, she works as a visiting researcher at THL focusing on vector-borne diseases, the One Health approach, and stakeholder networks.
|
|
|
|
Anniina will present her master’s thesis work: Vector-Borne Diseases Stakeholder Mapping in Finland: A One Health Approach, conducted during her master’s degree internship at THL as part of the MOOD H2020 project. The aim of this qualitative semi-structured interview research was to map and analyze the current and missing stakeholder/ actor interactions and information flow related to vector-borne diseases and their management in Finland, within a One Health context. In addition, the objective was also to discuss and reflect on the future of a possible formal VBD/One Health network in Finland and what were the chances, challenges, and means of establishing one.
