Research output: Book/Research ReportResearch report

Abstract

The current project was based on an earlier Emergency Management Australia (EMA) funded project (Terrorism and Pandemic Influenza: Population risk perception and Health Behaviour Determinants) conducted by the project team in 2006/7 in which baseline data were collected from a representative sample of the New South Wales (NSW) adult general population concerning their levels of threat perception and willingness to comply with protective behaviours in relation to the threats of terrorism and pandemic influenza. These modules of questions were named the SAFE modules (Secure Against Fear Exposure). The current project centred on a repeat administration of these 2007 SAFE modules, plus a further two smaller threat modules regarding climate change and drought, that were developed independently by the project team and also administered to the NSW general population previously in 2007 (these four modules are now collectively referred to as SAFE I).
