Indoor radon is a natural radioactive gas that enters homes through cracks in the foundations. It is one of the leading causes of lung cancer. Although radon can be detected with an indoor radon test and can be mitigated by means of either ventilation or professional measures, testing and mitigating rates of the at-risk population remain insufficient. The objective of this study is to systematically review the current level of evidence regarding the design and effectiveness of mass media campaigns to address the health risks of indoor radon to homeowners. The results show that informative tone of voices prevailed, other components, such as emotional or social components, were often not included. Furthermore, the focus was mostly on intention and less on behavior itself, and on testing instead of mitigation. Further research is needed to test effective and innovative communication strategies to increase protective behavior concerning indoor radon.

净化空气:对大众媒体宣传活动的系统回顾,以增加室内氡测试和修复

室内氡是一种天然放射性气体,可通过地基裂缝进入房屋。它是导致肺癌的主要原因之一。尽管可以通过室内氡测试检测到氡,​​并可以通过通风或专业措施减轻氡,但高危人群的检测和缓解率仍然不足。本研究的目的是系统地审查有关大众媒体运动的设计和有效性的当前证据水平,以解决室内氡对房主的健康风险。结果表明,信息性语调占主导地位,其他成分,如情感或社会成分,通常不包括在内。此外,重点主要是意图而不是行为本身,并且重点是测试而不是缓解。
