Fig 1. Attitude construct (1 = most negative attitude score; 7 = most positive attitude score)¹ of 957 survey participants toward genetic modification (GM) in dairy cattle.

Responses were stratified by application of the GM (i.e. disease resistant or hornless cattle) and by purposes of the GM (i.e. improving animal welfare, reducing cost for the farmer, increasing worker safety, all purposes, or no purpose provided). Least-square means and standard errors are adjusted for covariates based on multivariable linear regression.¹Three questions assessing participant attitudes toward GM on 7-point Likert scales were used to create an attitude construct.
