Are perceptions of government intervention for prevention different by gender and age? Results from the AUStralian Perceptions Of Prevention Survey (AUSPOPS)

摘要

Objectives: Understanding public opinion and community attitudes is needed to help the implementation of chronic disease prevention policies that are acceptable to the population.

However there is limited evidence whether age and gender have modifying effects on attitudes about prevention.
