description ABSTRACT: This study aims to explore how campesino non pesticide users differ in their knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, and perceptions of control and confidence surrounding pesticide use compared to pesticide users. Methodology: we collected 79 questionnaires with adult (male and female) rural agricultural campesinos in San Cristobal, Antioquia, Colombia. We examined the campesinos’ perceptions on pesticides’ harm for human health and the environment, as well as their beliefs, attitudes, perceived control, and perceived confidence related to pesticide use. Results: The findings differed between two campesino groups sampled: pesticide users and agroecological adherents. Pesticide users showed lower perceptions of pesticide harm for human health and the environment, lower perceived control about stopping pesticide use (an increase of one unit in control decreases the logit of using pesticides by 74%), and lower confidence about stopping pesticide use than agroecological adherents (an increase of one unit in confidence decreases the logit of using pesticides by 64%). Discussion: Several individual factors influence the occupational safety and health of campesinos, including perceived control and confidence. We recommend that future public health and educational interventions should improve safety training and confidence so campesinos can gain control of the process for implementing behavioral change related to pesticide use reduction.

Metodología: Colectamos 79 cuestionarios con hombres y mujeres adultas que son campesinos agricultores en San Cristóbal, Antioquia, Colombia. Examinamos las percepciones de estos campesinos sobre el daño de los plaguicidas sobre la salud humana y el medio ambiente. También se exploraron sus creencias, actitudes, percepciones de control y confianza relacionadas con el uso de los plaguicidas. Resultados: Los hallazgos difieren entre los dos grupos de campesinos muestreados: usuarios y no usuarios de plaguicidas. Los usuarios de pesticidas experimentaron menores percepciones del daño de los plaguicidas sobre la salud humana y el medio ambiente, menor percepción del control acerca de parar el uso de plaguicidas (el incremento de una unidad en control disminuyó el logit de usar pesticidas en un 74%), y menor confianza acerca de parar el uso de pesticidas comparado con los no usuarios de plaguicidas (el aumento de una unidad en la confianza, disminuyó el logit de usar pesticidas en un 64%). Discusión: Varios factores individuales influencian la salud ocupacional y la salud de los campesinos incluyendo la percepción del control y la confianza. Recomendamos que futuras intervenciones educativas en salud pública aumenten el entrenamiento sobre prácticas seguras y la confianza. Así los campesinos pueden ganar control en el proceso de implementar cambios en su comportamiento relacionado con la reducción del uso de pesticidas.16application/pdfengUniversidad de Antioquia, Facultad Nacional de Salud PúblicaMedellín, Colombiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1https://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/ARTArtículo de investigaciónhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Atribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 2.5 Colombia (CC BY-NC-SA 2.5 CO)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/co/http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/PesticidesCampesinosRisk perceptionPerceived controlA quantitative analysis of Colombian campesinos’ use of pesticides: perceived control and confidence in this useUn análisis cuantitativo del uso de Plaguicidas en los campesinos colombianos: percepción del control y la confianza en este usoRev.
