Anticipated Negative Responses by Students to Possible Ebola Virus Outbreak, Guangzhou, China	2016-01-17		.txt	text/plain	1473	77	45	Our aim was to measure students' anticipated negative emotional responses and avoidance activities (dependent variables) to a possible outbreak of EVD (5) . We constructed scales for the dependent and independent variables to assess EVD-related perceptions: 1) misconceptions/knowledge about transmission modes, 2) scenarios of an EVD outbreak in Guangzhou (chances, severity, control), 3) efficacy of preventive measures and self-protection, and 4) public stigma toward EVD survivors. In multivariate analyses that adjusted for significant background variables, we found positive associations between both dependent variables and the following independent variables: perceived fatality of EVD, perceived nonavailability of treatment, misconceptions regarding modes of transmission, perceived severity of a Guangzhou outbreak, perceived efficacy of restricting Africans' travel, perceived efficacy of avoiding African-inhabited areas, and public stigma toward EVD survivors.	./cache/cord-255040-xzs7d497.txt	./txt/cord-255040-xzs7d497.txt
