LYME BORRELIOSIS AWARENESS

A Lyme borreliosis information leaflet has been produced to promote aw areness amongst the general public. It was designed to provide a frame work for similar material throughout Europe and complements a question naire produced to measure awareness of Lyme borreliosis. This question naire can be used to determine the impact of educational campaigns usi ng material such as the leaflet. Feasibility studies showed that the q uestionnaire successfully highlighted predictable differences between sample groups and also that the leaflet performed well in increasing k nowledge in low-awareness groups.
