Help Shape Tick Awareness Outreach by Taking Online Survey
Penn State Extension has established a new vector-borne disease team that focuses on diseases transmitted by ticks and mosquitos.
To ensure that its efforts address community needs, the team has launched an online survey to help inform programming to educate the public about these diseases, how to prevent them, and how people can protect themselves.
The goal of the survey is to get a baseline of what Pennsylvania citizens know, what they want to know, and how they want to learn so the team can produce the most effective educational materials.
Pennsylvania ranks among the top three states with the highest rates of tick-borne disease. In 2018, for instance, Pennsylvania had the highest incidence of Lyme disease cases in the U.S.
