… The majority (95%) of respondents were of the opinion that LD is a (very) serious disease, and the minority (36%) of the respondents felt that they themselves were (very) susceptible to contracting LD. The respondents were more prepared to self-check for ticks and, when applic- able, to remove a tick when bitten after being outdoors rather than wear pro- tective clothing or to apply insect repellent. The percentage of respondents who took preventive measures varied from 6% for the use of insect repellent to 37% for wearing protective clothing. Significantly more self-checks for ticks were per- formed by people who had experienced a tick bite themselves, had more know- ledge or a moderate to severe wariness of ticks and LD. Respondents who wore protective clothing significantly more frequently, were more often not … is required. Children are an at-risk group for tick bites and LD.

Chapter 7 describes the study in which the effect- iveness of a leaflet detailing ticks and LD is compared to the effectiveness of the aforementioned game amongst schoolchildren. In total, 887 schoolchildren aged between nine …
