一场大流行病将在数周内对社区提出相当大的要求;因此，人们必须发展各种手段，以促进他们在这种情况下的复原力。本文介绍了一个模型的开发和测试，为公众教育战略提供信息，以促进持续采用支持社区复原力的准备和保护措施。该模型的前提是，采取行动的决定反映了人们如何解释信息，使其对他们有意义。该模型描述了如何反映这一结果之间的相互作用，个人的信念准备，社区特征影响如何风险信念和风险管理策略的发展，以及社区和健康信息源之间的关系。它强调需要区分决定不准备的人和接受需要准备但需要指导的人。发展流行病的公众教育和风险沟通计划的影响进行了讨论。
A pandemic will impose considerable demands on communities over a period of several weeks; thus, people must develop means to facilitate their resilience in such an event. This article describes the development and testing of a model to inform public education strategies to facilitate the sustained adoption of the preparedness and protective measures that underpin community resilience. The model is derived from the premise that decisions to act reflect how people interpret information to make it meaningful to them. The model describes how this outcome reflects the interaction among personal beliefs about preparing, community characteristics influencing how risk beliefs and risk management strategies are developed, and the relationship between the community and health information sources. It highlights a need to distinguish those who decide not to prepare from those who accept a need to prepare but need guidance. Implications for developing pandemic public education and risk communication programs are discussed.
