Background:
Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) are increasing and expanding their range throughout metropolitan France. Promoting individual protective behaviour is imperative, but research on its determinants is limited to southern regions. This study aims to quantify the knowledge, attitudes, and practice around MBDs and examine factors influencing protective behaviour in the metropolitan French population. Methods: 2,087 subjects responded an online questionnaire in November 2023. We fitted two mixed effects models to estimate the frequency and count of protective behaviours across different sociodemographic groups and to identify which factors influence protective behaviour. Results: Frequency of protective behaviour is significantly associated with perceived MBD threat (β = 0.11; 95% CI: 0.06, 0.15), having financial difficulties (β = 0.23; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.43), and getting bitten by mosquitoes often (β = 3.39; 95% CI: 3.10, 3.69) and sometimes (β = 1.54; 95% CI: 1.31, 1.76) compared to almost never. Count of protective behaviours is associated with getting bitten by mosquitoes often (β = 0.39; 95% CI: 0.30, 0.49) and sometimes (β = 0.14; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.23), perceived MBD threat (β = 0.02; 95% CI: 0.00, 0.03), MBD knowledge (β = 0.06; 95% CI: 0.04, 0.08), and having a chronic disease (β = 0.08; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.14). Models were adjusted for place of residence, education, and age. No associations were found for sex, having experienced an MBD, or confidence in public authorities to manage health crises. Conclusions: This study provides insights into MBD protective behaviour and its associated factors considering all metropolitan French regions. Our results highlight factors which may inform prevention communication and policies focused on increasing protective behaviour. |
