To evaluate the risk awareness and preparedness related to pandemic flu in China.
Two groups of people, mainly employers and employees from enterprises, were covered in the survey, using quantitative (questionnaire) and qualitative (in-depth interview) methods. The employers and employees were from joint-ventured corporations, large state-owned corporations and private companies which were randomly selected from 7 major cities in China.
(1) 82% of the people surveyed and interviewed had basic knowledge on pandemic flu. (2) 60% of the joint-ventured corporations had worked out or were working on their business continuity plan in the event of pandemic flu, compared to that of state-owned corporations and private companies that the figure was only 21% . (3) 67% of the joint-ventured corporations had informed their preparedness plan on pandemic flu to their employees, while that of the state-owned and private corporations, it was only 42 %. (4) About 70 % of the corporations was establishing policies for restricting travel to affected geographic areas (both domestic and international), evacuating the employees who working in or near the affected area when an outbreak began. (5) Nearly 60 % of the corporations thought annual flu vaccination was important and hence encouraging and tracking annual flu vaccination for employees. (6) 70% of the corporations paid high attention on providing sufficient and accessible supplies (e. g. hand - hygiene products, tissues and receptacles for their disposal) to control the epidemics in all business locations while nearly 76 % of the corporations were interested in purchasing commercial medical insurance.
Joint-verntured corporation were doing better than domestic corporations in terms of risk awareness and preparedness on pandemic flu, suggesting that the domestic corporation should learn from them regarding on pandemic flu preparedness to limit the negative impact of pandemic flu.
评估中国对甲型H1N1流感的风险认知及防范措施。
本次调查涵盖两组人群，主要为企业雇主及员工，采用定量（问卷调查）和定性（深度访谈）方法。雇主和员工来自合资企业、大型国有企业和民营企业，这些企业是从中国7个主要城市中随机选取的。
（1）82%的受访者对甲型H1N1流感有基本认知。（2）60%的合资企业已制定或正在制定应对甲型H1N1流感的业务连续性计划，相比之下，国有企业和民营企业的这一比例仅为21%。（3）67%的合资企业已将其甲型H1N1流感防范计划告知员工，而国有企业和民营企业的这一比例仅为42%。（4）约70%的企业正在制定限制前往受影响地区（包括国内和国际）旅行的政策，在疫情爆发时疏散在受影响地区或附近工作的员工。（5）近60%的企业认为年度流感疫苗接种很重要，因此鼓励并跟踪员工进行年度流感疫苗接种。（6）70%的企业高度重视在所有营业场所提供充足且易于获取的物资（如手部卫生用品、纸巾及其处理容器）以控制疫情，同时近76%的企业有兴趣购买商业医疗保险。
合资企业在甲型H1N1流感的风险认知和防范方面比国内企业做得更好，这表明国内企业应在甲型H1N1流感防范方面向合资企业学习，以限制甲型H1N1流感的负面影响。
