Davis 1 , E. Jentes 2 , P. Han 1 , W. Pollard 2 , C. Marano 2 1 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA, 2 CDC, Atlanta, GA, USA Background: Developing countries, while gaining in popularity as travel destinations, may present increased or unfamiliar health risks to travelers from developed countries and require important pre-travel preparation such as seeking medical advice, medications, and vaccinations. Studying the characteristics of travelers to developing countries can help formulate more effective messages for healthy travel. Methods: We analyzed survey data from Porter Novelli ConsumerStyles 2008, a mail survey with a U.S. representative sample, to understand characteristics of overnight stay travelers to developing countries (countries except the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand). Odds rations (OR) and logistic regression were used in the analysis (all p- values

Marano 4 1 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA, 2 Centers for disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA, 3 CDC, Atlanta, USA, 4 CDC, Atlanta, GA, USA Background: Although there is an on-going 2009 H1N1 influenza epidemic, avian influenza virus (A/H5N1) continues to be a significant public health threat. Currently, 442 cases have been confirmed worldwide with 262 deaths, mostly in Asian countries. Risk of disease may be higher in travelers to developing destinations, where these cases occur more frequently. This study investigated travelers to developing countries (TDC) and described their attitudes towards A/H5N1 and defined their sources of media information in order to inform focused avian influenza prevention campaigns for travelers. Methods: Data were analyzed from the 2008 Porter-Novelli ConsumerStyles survey, an annual national mail-in survey that gathers demographic information and media/consumer information about the US population. TDC were defined as persons traveling outside the United States for 1 day anywhere other than Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia, or New Zealand. Odds ratios (OR) and logistic regression were used. Results: Of 10,108 respondents, 913 (9%) reported being TDC; compared to non-TDC, TDC were less likely to be worried about getting ill from A/H5N1 (OR=0.5, CI=0.4-0.8, p=0.002). Further, TDC were less likely to have followed news stories about A/H5N1 (OR=0.72, CI=0.56- 0.95, p=0.02) and were more likely to feel that news media were "exaggerating the dangers" (OR=1.3, CI=1.1-1.5, p=0.006), compared to feeling the "news reports are about right." Overall, TDC were more likely to refer to the Internet (OR=1.5, CI=1.3-1.7, p
