Protective behavior associated with influenza outbreaks has also been investigated with regard to general estimates of health status [15] , but few studies have used validated measures of self-rated health as a means for the sub categorization. keywords: appraisal; behaviors; health; influenza; intention; model; outbreaks; self; study; threat cache: cord-001219-517gka4h.txt plain text: cord-001219-517gka4h.txt item: #2 of 85 id: cord-003507-22ylifqo author: Kelly, J.
