March of Dimes Zika survey – many have of heard of it, few know what to do -Sept 2016

March of Dimes Survey

2,379 Americans - from all 50 states & DC, but not Puerto Rico
Note: I expect far higher % for those Americans in potential Zika areas
Sampling error is +/ 3.2 percentage points
Survey in Aug and previous Survey in March

  • 95% have heard about Zika
  • < 25% very confident in the federal government being able to respond to a Zika
  • 61% moderately worried that the country will see a large number of Zika infections in the next year
  • 68% of 18-40 year olds recognize the need to delay pregnancy when a woman lives in a Zika-affected area,
  • >90% correctly state that a person can be infected if bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus
  • >80% aware that Zika is linked to birth defects in babies born to infected mothers.
