The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, together with the George Mason University, is pleased to present this report on Maryland attitudes towards public health, energy, and climate change. The survey, funded by the Town Creek Foundation, is the first comprehensive survey of Maryland residents to find out what they think about the public health impacts of climate change. The survey was conducted, in part, to help the Department understand public attitudes about health and the environment, and particularly about two important environmental changes occurring today: climate change and changes in the energy picture of the State and nation.
