Survey on Perception of Health Threats
How do people perceive health threats, illness and life events?
This is the question under investigation by a team of JCU researchers who are trying to identify the factors that contribute to perceptions about illness. The researchers are particularly interested in the amount of control people feel they have when faced with a health threat or significant life event.
