Responses from 605 households in Virginia are described and analyzed. Logit models are estimated to identify which issues shape consumers' attitudes toward regulatory approval of bST, and to determine whether socioeconomic characteristics explain consumers' attitudes toward these issues. Estimates based on survey responses point toward sizable reductions in fluid milk purchases contingent on the introduction of bST. Large retail price reductions are predicted to be insufficient to offset these estimated decreases in fluid milk demand.  acattle breeding  aconsumer attitudes  amilk  atechnology  aBovino  aConsumo  aDemanda  aLeite  aPecuária  aProdução  aTecnologia  aBovine somatotropin  aConsumption  aDemand  aEconomic social  aProduction  aSocio-economia1 aPRESTON, W.
