Description
Clare L. Tolley and colleagues ask how best to warn vulnerable people about dirty air in a 2026 qualitative study. Those with prior illness, city poverty, or minority backgrounds carry the highest exposure risk.
Interviews and focus groups gathered 50 participants from varied at-risk groups in North East England. From their views the team built a theory-based communication framework. Messages must tailor risk facts to each group and pair them with doable protective steps. Trusted voices matter: health workers and community peers outrank distant agencies. Channels such as text messages and local networks widen reach. Behavior change trials are the next test.
