As far as the major disruptions in life that these policy decisions may create, it turns out that parents are more concerned about the health of their children than the new inconveniences their families face. In a Harvard Opinion Research Program poll of 523 parents from 39 U.S. states whose child's school closed temporarily in response to the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, 90% of parents agreed with the dismissal decision, and 85% believed the dismissal reduced influenza transmission. Further, a total of 75% of parents who responded stated that the dismissal was not a problem, and only 3% stated it was a major problem. Approximately 20% of parents reported that an adult in the household missed work because of the dismissal, and 19% had a child who missed a free or reduced-cost lunch. Of these, 2% and <1% respectively, said missing work and missing lunch were major problems. Despite these small numbers, if you are one of those families, 100% of your family has a major problem. We have a comprehensive plan to help those families.
