Public Awareness Research 2005: Human Health
(Last reviewed: 30 Jun 2008)
Biotechnology Australia ceased operations on 30 June 2008. The information on this website has been archived and is no longer updated.
Biotechnology Australia’s Public Awareness Program aims to provide members of the community with the information they need to make more informed choices regarding the adoption of biotechnologies.
Public attitudes are a crucial issue in the development of the Australian biotechnology sector, and public understanding of the science involved is important. However, there is as great a need for scientists (and policymakers) to understand the public’s needs and concerns. Therefore, a need to understand the underlying drivers of community attitudes relating to biotechnology is crucial.
Respondents were asked to rate their level of support for the use of gene technology in human health and medical applications, as well as in food and agricultural applications.
