Most of the respondents identified science-recommended practices to be important for brain health. Over one-third (39%) considered their knowledge of the brain as sufficient relative to their needs.
Results: The majority of respondents (89%) considered brain health to be important. Demographic characteristics and information regarding the perceived importance and knowledge of brain health and engagement in preventive behaviors of participants were collected, and key associative analyses were carried out. Participants with formal brain-related education were excluded, leaving the remaining sample of the lay public ( n = 1012). Methods: An online survey was used to gather data for descriptive and associative statistical analyses of a sample of the Slovenian public ( n = 2568) in August 2017. Our research is the first effort aimed at assessing Slovenian lay public knowledge, search and use of scientific information about the brain, and care for brain health. Public knowledge, perception, and preventive behavior need to be considered in the planning of effective strategies for brain health promotion. Active care for brain health and reduction of lifestyle-related risks for brain disorders may be a key strategy in tackling the growing prevalence of mental and neurological illnesses.
