Some statistical tools were used to analyze the research data. The most important results were: Only 40% of the respondents had a high overall awareness of the rural home environment risks, while about 59%, 38% and about 35% of them had a high awareness of the health, food and housing risks, respectively. Six independent variables were explain approximately 50% of the variance in their awareness of the rural home environment risks: number of knowledge sources (25.3%), openness to the outside world (6.5%), poultry ownership (5.5%), animal ownership (5.4%), leadership (4.6%), and satisfaction with life in the village (2.4%). It turned out that the most important ways they deal with these risks were: ensuring and constantly monitoring the personal hygiene of family members about 97%; avoiding the use of contaminated, industrial, and expired water and foods about 95%; ensuring the use of household waste such as cooking oil and washing water 94%; periodically disinfecting places with disinfectants about 93%; and burying dead birds and animals in the ground 92%.
