A study on the behaviour of a population towards a preventive measure (X-ray screening of tuberculosis) was carried out in 6,176 adults (average age 55), offered screening by the Mobile X-ray Screening Department of "D.D.A.S.S.", from February to June 1979, 68.6 per cent of them completed and returned the self-administered postal questionnaire. The following factors were related to people's behaviour: age, occupation, educational level, the fact of being invited for the second or third time and of not being vaccinated by B.C.G. According to the results of this survey no personal motivation related to the knowledge and the fear of the disease seems to guide people in their response to the measure offered.
