OBJECTIVE: Research suggests that PPE is underused during mold cleanup after hurricanes, despite mold's association with adverse health outcomes. This study aims to improve understanding of decision-making around PPE use to shape messaging after natural disasters.
METHODS: A convenience sample of adult residents and workers in Louisiana parishes affected by Hurricane Ida responded to closed- and open-ended questions about mold cleanup perceptions. Content analysis drew on the Health Belief Model (HBM).
RESULTS: Qualitative findings indicate that perceived barriers to PPE use included discomfort and inconvenience. Many respondents understood important concepts related to respirator user seal checks and/or fit tests; some responses indicated misunderstandings. Many sample residents ( n = 150/238, 63%) and workers ( n = 40/68, 59%) had not encountered state-driven health messages about mold cleanup.
CONCLUSIONS: Results could inform message development for promoting recommended PPE use in hurricane-affected areas.
