Method: The participants in this study were 283 students in H university. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires in September, 2009. The collected data were analyzed by ANOVA, Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 18.0.
Result: The percentage of correct answers regarding knowledge of Influenza A (H1N1) was 34.6%. Risk perception and compliance of health behavior were very poor, 17.92±6.26/30 and 2.00±1.68/9, respectively. There was a positive correlation among knowledge, risk perception and health behavior. Knowledge and risk perception of Influenza A (H1N1) and intention of getting an influenza vaccination for this year explained 16.3% of variance in health behavior.
Conclusion: An educational program focusing on strategy to enhance university students’ knowledge and risk perception of Influenza A (H1N1) would be effective in improving their health behavior against it.
