THE FALLOUT PROTECTION BOOKLET: (3) A METHODOLOGICAL COMPARISON OF PRE-TEST RESPONSES OF THOSE WHO RESPONDED, REFUSED, OR WERE NOT REACHABLE ON THE POST-TEST
Abstract
A study was made of the impact of the 'Fallout Protection' booklet which was published by the OCD in December of 1961. While collecting data specific to that objective, useful information relevant to public information about and attitude toward civil defense was collected. Report 1 presented data on the accuracy of public knowledge about nuclear attack and civil defense, the favorability of public attitudes toward civil defense measures, other estimates of the public as to the threat of nuclear war and the relative effectiveness of various shelter inducements and inducement agents, and indices of public exposure to shelter information. Report 1 also analyzed attitudinal and demographic correlates of shelter knowledge, beliefs, and plans. Report 2 presented data from a comparative analysis of attitudinal and information levels of respondents who had been divided into four categories of interest with respect to constructing family shelters. This report presents the findings of a comparison of pre-test responses of those who (a) responded, (b) refused, or (c) were not reachable on the post-test.
