18-25 year olds do the best self-protection
When did people start to pay attention to and value the outbreak? One of the main persons in charge of the survey, Zhang Chichen, a professor at the School of Health Management of Southern Medical University, introduced that after Academician Zhong Nanshan pointed out that the new type of coronavirus pneumonia can be transmitted from person to person and that Xinhua News Agency issued important instructions from General Secretary Xi, in January At this time on the 20th, the cumulative number of attention and attention reached its peak, and the epidemic caused a great deal of attention and attention from the entire population. Survey data show that at this time point on January 20, 2020, 88% of the respondents were concerned about the epidemic, and 74% of them were valued.
How well the public is doing personal protection is an important part of this investigation. Zhang Chichen said that important measures of the party and government, in-depth analysis and explanation of experts and scholars, publicity and reporting by major media, and mobilization of communities and village committees have greatly increased public awareness of the disease. This is an epidemic situation. The prevention and control has laid a good foundation. With such a foundation, people's behavior changes will be faster and easier.
The survey showed that most of the respondents (80.0%) were able to take early actions to protect themselves in terms of taking relevant prevention and control measures, including correct selection and wearing of masks, covering mouth and nose with coughing and sneezing, and keeping the room clean and open. Ventilate windows to avoid people-intensive public places.
"In our interviews, we found that in many families, it is the young people who always remind parents and elders to wear masks and pay attention to prevention and control when they go out." Zhang Chichen said that the survey also analyzed the age difference in adopting prevention and control behaviors. The proportion of people in the 18-25 age group who take relevant prevention and control measures is the highest.
Zhang Chichen said that the prevention and control behavior of this group of 18-25 years old is the best. The reason is firstly because most people in this age group are in school (university stage), students have strong adaptability and do not go out to face home. The need for epidemic prevention and control can be quickly adapted and made up by other means, such as online learning, voice communication, and online shopping. Relatively speaking, the impact of the outbreak on the social support of this group is smaller than that of other groups. Secondly, most people in this age group are well educated and can quickly understand and accept when the state and government advocate some behaviors. In addition, this group of people is more timely and accurate in capturing information, and is able to understand the latest policies and developments of epidemic prevention and control through the Internet.
Youth epidemic education in action
Shi Linling, executive deputy director and secretary general of the Health Communication Working Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctors Association, said that in public health emergencies, the spread of knowledge is extremely important. To tell big homes to isolate, wear masks, and do good hand hygiene, the transmission of these information depends on the effective popularization of health knowledge on public platforms. "Not only in public health emergencies, we should master the corresponding knowledge, You should also have these knowledge reserves in your life. The 'Healthy China' strategy is a true national action. "
Adolescent health education is particularly important. Promoting the healthy behavior of adolescents is an important part of China's implementation of the "Healthy China" strategy. In recent years, the state has issued a series of laws, regulations, policies and systems to build an environment and social atmosphere that are conducive to the healthy growth of young people. During the current fight against epidemic, how to guide young people to acquire correct knowledge of epidemic prevention and establish scientific concept of epidemic prevention?

More than 500,000 netizens learned about child epidemic prevention through video. Lin Ming explained the key points of child epidemic prevention and rumors on the Internet. If it is not recommended for children to wear N95 masks, as it will reduce the amount of breathing air and cause breathing effort, we recommend that children's medical surgical masks of appropriate size be preferred. In special times, child protection and adult protection should be paid equal attention. In addition to advising, helping children wash their hands and wearing masks, parents should also pay attention to disinfecting their children's items.
Zhang Ye, chief physician of the Department of Youth Psychology of Tianjin Mental Health Center, said in an interview that parents can take a "respect for life, reverence for nature" course for children, combining children's theoretical knowledge with real situations to better Adapt to the current home isolation environment.
