    Working Papers Project on the Public and Biological Security Harvard School of Public Health 4. REPORT ON ‘ER’ VIEWERS WHO SAW THE SMALLPOX EPISODE Robert J. Blendon, Harvard School of Public Health, Project Director John M. Benson, Harvard School of Public Health Catherine M. DesRoches, Harvard School of Public Health Melissa J. Herrmann, ICR/International Communications Research June 13, 2002 After "ER" Smallpox Episode, Fewer "ER" Viewers Report They Would Go to Emergency Room If They Had Symptoms of the Disease Viewers More Likely to Know About the Importance of Smallpox Vaccination For Immediate Release: Thursday, June 13, 2002 BOSTON, MA – Regular "ER" viewers who saw or knew about that television show's May 16, 2002, smallpox episode were less likely to say that they would go to a hospital emergency room if they had symptoms of what they thought was smallpox than were regular "ER" viewers questioned before the show. In a survey by the Harvard School of Public Health and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 71% of the 261 regular "ER" viewers interviewed during the week before the episode said they would go to a hospital emergency room. A separate HSPH/RWJF survey conducted after the episode found that a significantly smaller proportion (59%) of the 146 regular "ER" viewers who had seen the episode, or had heard, read, or talked about it, would go to an emergency in this circumstance. This difference may reflect the pandemonium that broke out in the fictional emergency room when the suspected smallpox cases were first seen. Regular "ER" viewers who saw or knew about the smallpox episode were also less likely (19% to 30%) than regular "ER" viewers interviewed before the show to believe that their local hospital emergency room was very prepared to diagnose and treat smallpox.

    ‘HAILEY DEAN MYSTERY: DATING IS MURDER’ Cast Bios NANCY GRACE – An outspoken, tireless advocate for victims’ rights and one of television's most respected legal analysts, Nancy Grace is the powerful force behind CNN Headline News’ (HLN) top-rated “Nancy Grace.” A former prosecutor with an unparalleled record of success, she has appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “The View,” “The Today Show,” “Good Morning America,” “Dr. Phil” and “Larry King Live,” among others, dispensing her firebrand take on the modern justice system. In addition, she was a highlight and fan favorite of “Dancing with the Stars,” finishing Season 13 in the competition’s coveted Top 5. All of her earnings from the show went to support the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. In 2011, Grace was named one of the most impactful and powerful women in entertainment by both leading industry trade magazines, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. Beginning earlier this year, she has hosted a daily podcast called “Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.” Grace’s first book, Objection! was published in 2005, and became an instant New York Times bestseller. Her two subsequent novels, The Eleventh Victim (2009) and Death on the D-List (2010), were also New York Times bestsellers. She is the recipient of several American Women in Radio & Television Gracie Awards for her “Nancy Grace Investigates” primetime report on Court TV and has been awarded the Individual Achievement/Best Program Host honor. Grace has also been widely recognized by many notable organizations (including the Carole Sund/Carrington Foundation, Crime Victims United of California and The Retreat) for her advocacy work on behalf of victims’ rights.

    TV Doctors Fieldwork Dates: 12th - 13th March 2019 Conducted by YouGov On behalf of YouGov Omnibus © YouGov plc 2019 BACKGROUND This spreadsheet contains survey data collected and analysed by YouGov plc. No information contained within this spreadsheet may be published without the consent of YouGov Plc and the client named on the front cover. Methodology: This survey has been conducted using an online interview administered to members of the YouGov Plc panel of 1.2 million individuals who have agreed to take part in surveys. Emails are sent to panellists selected at random from the base sample. The e-mail invites them to take part in a survey and provides a generic survey link. Once a panel member clicks on the link they are sent to the survey that they are most required for, according to the sample definition and quotas. (The sample definition could be "US adult population" or a subset such as "US adult females"). Invitations to surveys don’t expire and respondents can be sent to any available survey. The responding sample is weighted to the profile of the sample definition to provide a representative reporting sample. The profile is normally derived from census data or, if not available from the census, from industry accepted data. YouGov plc make every effort to provide representative information. All results are based on a sample and are therefore subject to statistical errors normally associated with sample-based information.
