For information on re-use, please refer to the publisher’s terms and conditions. abstract: Information is widely available about travel risks and prevention. Yet, every year a proportion of travellers are affected by illnesses or injuries sustained during their trip, many of which are preventable. In this article we will consider how people perceive risk; how people make decisions about engaging in preventative behaviour; and the role of the pre-travel consultation in promoting healthy behaviour in travellers. The article defines factors that affect travellers’ choices about taking preventative measures and describes strategies to enhance the effectiveness of the pre-travel consultation. date: 2016-08 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.12968/pnur.2016.27.8.384 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1158648 doi: 10.12968/pnur.2016.27.8.384 lyricists_name: Noble, Lorraine lyricists_id: LMNOB86 actors_name: Noble, Lorraine actors_id: LMNOB86 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Practice Nursing volume: 27 number: 8 pagerange: 384-389 issn: 0964-9271 citation: Noble, LM; (2016) Understanding risk perception in travellers.
