SETTING AND INTERVENTION: 15 000 free doses of hepatitis A vaccine were ma…
Beliefs about Aids as determinants of preventive practices and of support for coercive measures
We performed a telephone survey to explore relations between knowledge, beliefs (as defined in the Health Belief Model) and reported AIDS-preventive practices in a sample of 1,072 persons ages 18-65, living in the Montreal health region.

These data suggest that pedestrian accident prevention efforts should take into account…
