We found risk perceptions of avian influenza to be at an intermediate level and beliefs of efficacy to be slightly lower. The effects of age also varied by country; mean risk perception levels were higher in older age groups in Europe but not in Asia. Risk perception and efficacy levels before and after the introduction of avian influenza in Europe did not differ significantly. Although our results are difficult to compare with theirs, our study appears to indicate a higher feeling of vulnerability, with 41.8% of Hong Kong respondents thinking it likely or very likely that they would become infected with influenza during an outbreak. Although in all countries an influenza pandemic is perceived as a real risk, the level of self-efficacy appears to be rather low.	./cache/cord-309210-3dpnmswf.txt	./txt/cord-309210-3dpnmswf.txt
