“…Subsequently, these consumers’ dietary patterns have changed swiftly toward higher levels of consumption of meat products, while those in the low‐income category continue to suffer extreme poverty and malnutrition (Kandala, Madungu, Emina, Nzita, & Cappuccio, 2011; Rossi, Hoerz, Thouvenot, Pastore, & Michael, 2006). Generally, beef, goat, pork, chicken, and rabbit are the meats most consumed in Eastern DRC.…”

Dietary patterns for consumers among the elite and middle‐income classes in developing countries are shifting rapidly toward the consumption of more animal‐based products. Although this shift presents opportunities, there are significant market failures affecting their preferences and willingness to pay (WTP). This study used a multistage sample survey of 309 consumers from three different communities of Bukavu, Eastern DRC, to examine the effect of socioeconomic/socio‐demographic characteristics and quality attributes on consumers’ purchasing decisions and WTP for meat products. The results suggested that about 53% of the respondents were dissatisfied with meat products in the market due to their high price, low quantity, unhealthiness, and harmful effects. Older female respondents living in urban areas were more likely to purchase meat products. Their WTP was significantly determined by attributes such as color, in‐mouth texture, and availability. Nutrition, harmful effects, and availability of meat products are the important factors that influence purchasing decisions among higher income groups. Addressing these market failures could have an impact on the meat market, improving the nutrition of low‐income consumers and ensuring food safety standards in DRC and other developing countries with similar challenges.

“…More generally, the belief that people's importance to self and support vaccination is positively associated with vaccination intention and behavior (e.g., Allen et al 2010 ;Flood et al 2010 ;Myers and Goodwin 2011 ). For example, young women who felt their mothers might not want them to be vaccinated were much less likely to complete the three-dose HPV vaccine series than those who felt their mothers would "defi nitely" want them to be vaccinated .…”

Long perceived as an unattractive segment of the pharmaceutical industry, most of the leading fi rms have stepped up vaccine investments in recent years. Unlike mainstream pharmaceuticals, vaccines generally treat healthy individuals, most are administered only once or very infrequently during a life time, and they engender positive externalities, because vaccinated individuals reduce the risk of transmission to unvaccinated persons, leading authorities to mandate some vaccinations. Resistance to vaccination may lead to immunization failure and disease resurgence.The public and private market each account for about one-half of the global vaccine market in value. Bringing new vaccines to market requires carefully orchestrated programs targeting the multiple types of customers. For example, in parallel with the clinical development program designed to obtain FDA approval for its HPV vaccine Gardasil, Merck developed health-economic evidence to obtain a positive recommendation for vaccination and public fi nancing. Physician educational programs and unbranded DTC campaigns were started many months prior to launch. Following FDA approval and positive vaccination and public fi nancing recommendations, Merck developed market access programs targeted at states and private insurers, and launched branded physician and DTC campaigns.Successful global diffusion of a vaccine generally requires the development of a tiered pricing policy which takes country differences in per capita income into account.A successful launch often creates new problems for vaccine marketers. They must maintain the motivation to engage in and pay for vaccination despite the quasi-disappearance of the disease. And they must combat anti-vaccination information claiming that the vaccine is the cause of serious side effects.

“…The majority of studies were disease specific. Two studies examined intentions to be vaccinated (protective action or preparedness behavior) for H1NI, finding that emotions, perceptions about the disease (severity and susceptibility) and of the vaccine (cost and effectiveness), and prior experience were predictors (Myers & Goodwin, 2011;Setbon & Raude, 2010). [insert Table 3 here] A third H1N1 study found that affective response fully mediated the relationship between cognitive and social--contextual factors and compliance with recommended behaviors (Prati, Pietrantoni, & Zani, 2011).…”

Increasingly, citizens are being asked to take a more active role in disaster risk reduction (DRR), as decentralization of hazard governance has shifted greater responsibility for hazard preparedness actions onto individuals. Simultaneously, the taxonomy of hazards considered for DRR has expanded to include medical and social crises alongside natural hazards. Risk perception research emerged to support decision--makers with understanding how people characterize and evaluate different hazards to anticipate behavioral response and guide risk communication. Since its inception, the risk perception concept has been incorporated into many behavioral theories, which have been applied to examine preparedness for numerous hazard types. Behavioral theories have had moderate success in predicting or explaining preparedness behaviors; however, they are typically applied to a single hazard type and there is a gap in understanding which theories (if any) are suited for examining multiple hazard types simultaneously. This paper first reviews meta--analyses of behavioral theories to better understand performance. Universal lessons learnt are summarized for survey design. Second, theoretically based preparedness studies for floods, earthquakes, epidemics, and terrorism are reviewed to assess the conceptual requirements for a 'multi--hazard' preparedness approach. The development of an online preparedness self--assessment and learning platform is discussed.
