When H1N1 emerged in 2009, institutions of higher education were immediately faced with questions about how best to protect their community from the virus, yet limited information existed to help predict student preventive behaviors.
The authors surveyed students at a large urban university in November 2009 to better understand how students perceived their susceptibility to and the severity of H1N1, which preventive behaviors they engaged in, and if policies impacted their preventive health decisions.
Preventive health behavior messaging had a mixed impact on students. Students made simple behavior changes to protect themselves from H1N1, especially if they perceived a high personal risk of contracting H1N1. Although policies were instituted to enable students to avoid classes when ill, almost no student self-isolated for the entire duration of their illness.
These findings can help inform future decision making in a university setting to best influence preventive health behaviors.
2009 年 H1N1 流感爆发时，高等教育机构立即面临如何最好地保护其社区免受该病毒侵害的问题，但可用于预测学生预防行为的信息有限。
作者于 2009 年 11 月对一所大型城市大学的学生进行了调查，以更好地了解学生如何看待自己感染 H1N1 的易感性和严重程度、他们采取了哪些预防行为，以及政策是否影响了他们的预防健康决策。
预防健康行为的信息宣传对学生产生了混合影响。学生为保护自己免受 H1N1 感染而采取了简单的行为改变，尤其是当他们认为自己感染 H1N1 的个人风险很高时。尽管制定了政策使学生在患病时可以避免上课，但几乎没有学生在整个患病期间进行自我隔离。
这些发现可以帮助为大学环境中的未来决策提供信息，以最佳地影响预防健康行为。
