Creutz-Jakob disease

In further analyzing how the crisis influences consumers, Smith et al. (1999) discovered that confidence in all sources dropped after their announcement of a BSE/Creutz-Jakob disease (CJD) crisis in March of 1996 in Great Britain. Consumers were asked about seven different information sources, as well as the extent to which I trust the following sources of information in terms of the advice they give about the safety of meat/ BSE. Although confidence in all sources dropped, the confidence in family and friends dropped the least.
