Abstract
- An empirical study of public conceptions of responsibility and choice in relation to health protection, and the influence of these upon responses to official information is presented using two contrasting studies of air pollution and child immunization. Conclusions are developed relating to information provision in an age promoting individualization and retraction of government, specially the need for explicit engagement with the benefits of health protection measures.
