Special Eurobarometer 257: Avian Influenza

The Directorate General for Health and Consumer Protection (DG SANCO) Commissioned the present Eurobarometer study, which was conducted among 24,693 respondents in the 25 Member States, two acceding countries (Bulgaria and Romania), and two candidate countries (Croatia and Turkey). This study has three fundamental objectives: • To determine the level of knowledge of citizens regarding the health risks linked to avian influenza; • To determine the level of knowledge of citizens regarding policies implemented to fight the spread of the virus; • To obtain a better understanding of declared and planned changes in consumer behaviour as a consequence of the virus outbreak. The report presents the main results of the survey. For each of the themes, results are analysed in terms of the European average and, if necessary, evaluated at national level. When necessary, several brief comments are added on the basis of the social-demographic variables of respondents. #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
