THE PUBLIC'S OPINIONS ON EXISTING OR POTENTIAL FEDERAL FALLOUT SHELTER PROGRAMS

Abstract

Data obtained from a national probability sample of 2,000 adult Americans are analyzed. The study obtained indices of public attitudes toward the probability of nuclear war, the utility of fallout shelters, and the desirability of various civil defense programs of the Office of Civil Defense. Response differences that were related to various demographic variables were analyzed, and three groups which are maximally different in their receptivity to shelter programs were compared.
