Webinar: Understanding the Public's Response to a Possible Anthrax Scenario Involving Inhalation Anthrax

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will host a webinar on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 from 2-3:00 pm EDT entitled "Understanding the Public's Response to a Possible Scenario Involving Inhalation Anthrax."

"In planning an effective response to a bioterrorism incident, it is critical to understand and anticipate the public's viewpoint, their perceptions of the threat and their intended behaviors. This includes their likelihood of taking recommended precautions and their likelihood of taking matters into their own hands. In particular, it is important to understand the perspective of racial/ethnic minority groups given that these communities may be disproportionately affected in a real attack. During this webinar, subject matter experts will discuss results from public opinion polls conducted between December 2012 to January 2013, which assessed how people would respond to a possible release of anthrax spores in an unidentified area."
