Abstract

Purpose: To examine associations between 1) sociodemographics and 2) trust in health information sources with climate change harm perception.

Methods: Weighted adjusted logistic regression models examined correlates of climate change harm perception (harm vs no harm/don't know) among a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults (2022, n = 5585).

Results: Sixty-four percent of U.S. adults believed climate change will harm their health. College education (vs high school or less) (AOR 1.7, 95% CI 1.3, 2.2) and having greater trust in doctors (AOR 1.4, 95% CI 1.2, 1.7), scientists (aOR 1.8, 95% CI 1.6, 2.0), and government health agencies (AOR 1.7, 95% CI 1.5, 1.9) for health information were associated with believing climate change harms health. Conversely, greater trust in religious organizations was associated with 16% lower odds of believing climate change harms health (95% CI .74, .94).

Conclusions: Climate change harm perception varied by sociodemographics and trust in health information source. Health communication delivered via alternative and diverse channels could expand the reach of climate and health messaging and ultimately increase public awareness and support for measures to mitigate the health impacts of climate change.

2022 年 NCI 健康信息全国趋势调查中美国成年人对气候变化危害的看法。

目的：研究 1）社会人口统计学因素和 2）对健康信息来源的信任与气候变化危害认知之间的关系：加权调整逻辑回归模型研究了具有全国代表性的美国成年人样本（2022 年，n = 5585）中气候变化危害感（危害 vs 无危害/不知道）的相关因素：结果：64% 的美国成年人认为气候变化会损害他们的健康。大学教育程度（相对于高中或以下）（AOR 1.7，95% CI 1.3，2.2）以及对医生（AOR 1.4，95% CI 1.2，1.7）、科学家（AOR 1.8，95% CI 1.6，2.0）和政府卫生机构（AOR 1.7，95% CI 1.5，1.9）的健康信息更信任与认为气候变化会损害健康有关。相反，对宗教组织的信任度越高，认为气候变化会损害健康的几率就会降低 16% （95% CI .74, .94）：结论：气候变化危害认知因社会人口统计学和对健康信息来源的信任度而异。通过其他不同渠道进行健康传播可以扩大气候和健康信息的传播范围，最终提高公众对减轻气候变化健康影响措施的认识和支持。
