Three cross-sectional online surveys adults (28 30 January, n = 2016; 3 6 February, 2002; 10 13 2020, 2006) were conducted. used logistic regressions associations between outcome measures (worry, respiratory hygiene behaviour, distancing behaviour) explanatory variables. 19.8% participants (95% CI 18.8% 20.8%) very or extremely worried about COVID-19. People from minoritized ethnic groups particularly likely feel worried. 39.9% 37.7% 42.0%) had completed one more behaviour than usual last seven days. Uptake was greater worry, perceived effectiveness individual behaviours, self-efficacy for engaging them, having heard information 13.7% 12.2% 15.2%) reduced number people they met.

Of these 36.04% engaged at least one BRF 16.68% 3 or more BRFs. Multilevel logistic regressions revealed that engagement was significantly associated with less hygiene measures, i.e., hand-sanitizing, hand-washing covering coughs sneezes (OR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.78; 0.94), two BRFs 0.85; 0.74; 0.97) three 0.72; 0.59; 0.88).

Background Previous studies have observed that countries with the strongest levels of pandemic preparedness capacities experience greatest COVID-19 burden. However, these analyses been limited by cross-country differentials in surveillance system quality and demographics. Here, we address limitations previous comparisons exploring country-level relationships between measures comparative mortality ratios (CMRs), a form indirect age standardisation, excess mortality. Methods We indirectly standardised mortality, from Institute for Health Metrics Evaluation modelling database, comparing total to an expected age-specific rate reference country derive CMRs. then linked CMRs data on Global Security (GHS) Index. These were used as input into multivariable linear regression included income covariate adjusted multiple comparisons. conducted sensitivity analysis using estimates WHO The Economist. Results GHS Index was negatively associated (β= −0.21, 95% CI=−0.33, −0.10). Greater related prevention −0.11, CI= −0.20 −0.03), detection (β=−0.09, −0.17 −0.02), response (β = −0.19, −0.32 −0.05), international commitments −0.17, −0.30 −0.04) risk environments −0.30, −0.42 −0.18) each lower After adjustment hypotheses, (table 2; β= CI=−0.41, −0.02) environment CI=−0.50, −0.10) remained deaths. not replicated models rely more heavily reported deaths (eg, Economist). Conclusion first direct comparison rates across accounting under-reporting structure confirms greater Additional research is needed confirm robust national-level impact become available.
