Description
Gülay Yilmazel and co-authors build a scale to measure public awareness of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. Their twenty twenty-six study serves regions where this tick-borne virus kills and no vaccine exists. Awareness drives prevention and early care, yet no standard tool measured it.
A twenty-nine-item draft scale came from the literature and expert review. Near three hundred adults at two family health centers in Türkiye answered it. Statistical checks trimmed and tested the items for validity and reliability. Health teams now hold a yardstick: they can find districts where tick safety knowledge lags and aim campaigns where the gap is worst.
