| DATASET DESCRIPTION | ||
| This study reveals the findings of the Slovenian RadoNorm survey, which is an integral component of a larger study that investigates societal attitudes and behaviors related to radon. This extensive research project, known as the "RadoNorm European Radon Behavior Atlas," encompasses 15 European Member States.The results presented in this report offer important insights into the Slovenian public's understanding, attitudes, and behaviour regarding radon.
The objectives of this study are as follows: i) To gauge socio-psychological factors that could influence people's behavior regarding protection from radiological risks associated with radon, using a survey; ii) To examine which of these factors are associated with actions such as radon testing and mitigation; iii) To offer empirical evidence that can guide awareness and communication strategy aimed at increasing the number of radon tests and mitigations. Iv;) Additionally, the study explores potential disparities in radon awareness, attitudes, and behaviors between regions in Slovenia categorized as high and moderate radon risk areas and those identified as low radon risk areas. In particular, the following 27 socio-psychological aspects, grounded in different health protection and risk communication theories, were investigated: Radon protection behaviour, Intention to protect from radon, Radon awareness, Salience, General radiation knowledge, Radon knowledge, Risk perception, Confidence in authorities for risk management, Knowing radon stakeholders, Truthfulness of radon stakeholders, Competence of radon stakeholders, Severity, Susceptibility, Response efficacy: remediation, Self-efficacy, Perceived behavioural control: financial and other burdon and ease, Esthetic impact of remediation works on a dwelling, Economic impact of radon on a property value, Subjective norms, Descriptive norms, Health effect perception, Stigma, Information processing, Information comprehensiveness, Information uncertainty, Affective response to information, and Preference for post-survey radon related information. | ||
