Abstract：
Endocrine disruptors (ED) are ubiquitous pollutants, possibly implicated in chronic disease. Exposure of vulnerable populations; including neonates, infants and children; must therefore be limited. Informing parents is now a public health challenge. We conducted a quantitative cross-sectional study at the Lyon Mother and child Hospital. We used questionnaires to assess the beliefs and knowledge about ED of parents and pediatric healthcare professionals in the pediatric ward in Lyon, France. A total of 746 questionnaires were completed: 444 for professionals and 302 for parents. The majority of both populations had already heard of ED but only 10% of parents and 5% of professionals felt sufficiently informed. Professionals answered better than parents (73% vs. 60%). The main source of information was similar: media. Only 20% of professionals had read a scientific article about ED and 4% have followed a training. Environmental exposure and EDs is an increasing concern for parents but specific knowledge remains scare for parents and professionals. Specific training is needed.
摘要：
内分泌干扰物（ED）是普遍存在的污染物，可能与慢性病有关.弱势群体的暴露；包括新生儿，婴儿和儿童；因此必须受到限制。告知父母现在是一个公共卫生挑战。我们在里昂母婴医院进行了定量横断面研究。我们使用问卷调查来评估里昂儿科病房的父母和儿科医疗保健专业人员对ED的信念和知识，法国。总共完成了746份问卷：444份为专业人士，302份为家长。这两个人群中的大多数人都已经听说过ED，但只有10％的父母和5％的专业人士感到足够了解。专业人士的回答比父母好（73%与60%）。信息的主要来源相似：媒体。只有20%的专业人士读过一篇关于ED的科学文章，4%的人接受过培训。父母越来越关注环境暴露和ED，但具体知识仍然令父母和专业人士感到恐惧。需要具体培训。
