Researchers from York University in Canada and Shaanxi Normal University in China have found that mass media coverage of a particular epidemic can be used to slow the disease?s progress.

The study, available in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, suggests that health care workers can use mass media reports to change the behavior of people involved in an epidemic or outbreak. News reports can help people to stay up to date on the epidemic, its effects and its spread.

The analysts specifically evaluated the H1N1 epidemic in China?s Shaanxi province.
