- In Stage II, the mean, median, and range of age for CRs were 32.2 ± 13.5, 30.0, and 13–73, respectively whereas those for LPMWs were 49.1 ± 14.6, 50.0, and 11–87, respectively. We used a chi-square test for the statistical analyses in Table 4. LPMWs were significantly older than CRs (p < 0.001)
- *p-value < 0.05. The data within the percentages of community residents related to the different demographical variables in the Stage II survey served as the reference group in this Table 4
- aOur government officials initiated the pilot study of phase 1 H5N1 avian influenza vaccine trial for animal-related workers in 2009. At that time, the acceptance rate was quite low. Therefore, the data of the reported “acceptance of avian influenza vaccine between live-poultry market workers and community residents” were thus compared only after the 2nd survey in Table 4
