Behaviour Response among Educated Young Adults Towards the H1N1 Pandemic

Abstract

H1N1 has caused a significant number of fatalities in Malaysia. This study investigated the behaviour response and the attitude of educated young adults towards their health. This study was conducted in a suburban territory. Hypothesis testing was completed using Chi-square and Fisher Exact test and they examined categorical data to compare the differences in proportion. This study concluded that health seeking behaviour and behaviour changes among educated young adults in Malaysia should be improved. There was no strong predictor to indicate that difference in educational background will grant positive difference in health seeking behaviour and behaviour changes with regard to the H1N1 pandemic.
