The study was conducted by HCD Research and the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion (MCIPO) on April 27, to obtain the general public's perceptions of the news that The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention has declared a public health emergency in regard to Swine Influenza (Swine Flu). To view detailed results go to: www.hcdi.net or www.mediacurves.com.

"When comparing the results of this study to a similar physicians' study that we released yesterday, the general public's perceptions of the swine flu and its potential risk were in line with physicians' views," explained Glenn Kessler, president and CEO, HCD Research.

Approximately one-quarter of the general public (26%) reported that they were concerned that the swine flu will have an impact on themselves or their families. When asked how their behavior would change after the announcement of the public health emergency, respondents indicated that they would be 15% more likely to visit the doctor at the first sign of the flu.

Members of the general were asked to rank various life-threatening events on a scale which measured their level of concern for each event
