title: Live poultry exposure and public response to influenza A(H7N9) in urban and rural China during two epidemic waves in 2013-2014

description: This dataset contains information from a population-based survey, which investigated human exposure to live poultry, population psychological response and behavioral changes of the community members during two waves of influenza A(H7N9) epidemics in Southern China in 2013-2014. The dataset has 3 files. One file named "population_wt.csv" contained population profile of the studied sites; One file named "H7N9 survey China_Questionarie_eng.doc" was the survey questionaire; The third file named "dataset_H7N9.csv" contained raw data acquired during the two waves of A(H7N9) epidemics,a data frame with 1657 observations on the following 44 variables.
