Perspective traits cluster by measures of health status, risk perception, self-efficacy, openness to health risk messaging, health information needs, and access to exposure reducing resources.

		Health: “Would you say your own health, in general is:”* “Do you commonly experience any of these symptoms? (Select all that apply):”**
		Poor	Good	Excellent
Risk perception: “A few hours of wildfire smoke in the air can impact my health.”***	High	Protectors, susceptible	Cautious
	Medium			Proactive
	Low			Unengaged
Self-efficacy: “It is possible for me to reduce my wildfire smoke exposure.”***	High		Cautious	Proactive
	Medium	Protectors, Susceptible
	Low			Unengaged
Receptiveness: Health risk communication: “Information alerts are likely to help me reduce my exposure to wildfire smoke.”***	High	Susceptible	Cautious	Proactive
	Medium
	Low	Protectors		Unengaged
Information needs: “before considering reducing wildfire smoke exposure, I need more information on: (select all that apply)”∇	High	Susceptible	Cautious
	Medium			Proactive
	Low	Protectors		Unengaged
Access: exposure-reducing resources: “which of the following do you use or have readily available to use? (select all that apply)”⊗	High		Cautious	Proactive
	Medium	Protectors, susceptible
	Low			Unengaged
Experience with wildfire smoke: “Smoke from wildfires is a common occurrence where I live.”***	High	Protectors, susceptible	Cautious
	Medium			Proactive
	Low			Unengaged

^***: 1) Strongly agree; 2) Somewhat agree; 3) Neither agree nor disagree; 4) Somewhat disagree; 5) Strongly disagree.

^∇: 1) Whether smoke impacts my health; 2) Whether specific measures will help my health; 3) Whether the measure was recommended by a trusted source; 4) The effort required for a specific measure; 5) The monetary costs of a specific measure; 6) I would not consider reducing exposure; 7) I don't need additional information before I reduce exposure.

^⊗: 1) A HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) room purifier; 2) A car with recirculate mode for the ventilation system; 3) Single room air conditioner(s); 4) Whole house (central) air conditioning; 5) Work place air conditioning; 6) An N95 (or similar) respirator mask; 7) Protective gear, e.g., plastic gloves and goggles; 8)Access to AQI and AQ health-related warnings; 9) None of the above.
