title: Responses to threat of influenza A(H7N9) and support for live poultry markets, Hong Kong, 2013.
abstract: We conducted a population survey in Hong Kong to gauge psychological and behavioral responses to the threat of influenza A(H7N9) and support for closure of live poultry markets. We found low anxiety and low levels of exposure to live poultry but mixed support for permanent closure of the markets.
