Perceptions and behavioral responses of the general public during the 2009
influenza A (H1N1) pandemic: a systematic review.
Disaster Med Public Health Prep. 2015 Apr;9(2):207-19

Abstract
The public plays an important role in controlling the spread of a virus by
adopting preventive measures. This systematic literature review aimed to gain
insight into public perceptions and behavioral responses to the 2009 influenza
A (H1N1) pandemic, with a focus on trends over time and regional differences.
We screened 5498 articles and identified 70 eligible studies from PubMed,
Embase, and PsychINFO. Public misconceptions were apparent regarding modes of
transmission and preventive measures. Perceptions and behaviors evolved during
the pandemic. In most countries, perceived vulnerability increased, but
perceived severity, anxiety, self-efficacy, and vaccination intention
decreased. Improved hygienic practices and social distancing were practiced
most commonly. However, vaccination acceptance remained low. Marked regional
differences were noted. To prevent misconceptions, it is important that health
authorities provide up-to-date information about the virus and possible pre
ventive measures during future outbreaks. Health authorities should
continuously monitor public perceptions and misconceptions. Because public
perceptions and behaviors varied between countries during the pandemic, risk
communication should be tailored to the specific circumstances of each country.
Finally, the use of health behavior theories in studies of public perceptions
and behaviors during outbreaks would greatly facilitate the development of
effective public health interventions that counter the effect of an outbreak.
