Are you a Farmer in Illinois and interested in participating in a study on ticks and tick-borne diseases?
The I-TICK program is hoping you will read about and consider joining the study below.
Knowledge, Attitudes and Prevention Practices (KAP) of Farmers in Illinois on Ticks & Tickborne diseases (TBD) study
This is a study in collaboration with the University of Illinois Extension. Our goal is to determine the awareness and knowledge of farmers in Illinois regarding ticks and tickborne diseases as well as compare the perceived vs actual risk of TBD risk in farmers. The study involves completing a one-time 30 min survey and if interested- having farm areas dragged for ticks by the study team. We hope that the responses collected from the survey will help in implementing appropriate tick prevention and education efforts at the county level in Illinois among farmers.
