Abstract Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, UK government implemented a series of guidelines, rules, and restrictions to change citizens’ behaviour tackle spread virus, such as promotion face masks imposition lockdown stay-at-home orders. The success measures requires active co-operation on part citizens, but compliance was not complete. Detailed research is required factors that aided or hindered with these measures. Methods To understand facilitators barriers we used structural topic modelling, text mining technique, extract themes from over 26,000 free-text survey responses 17,500 adults, collected between 17 November 23 December 2020. Results main facilitating were desires reduce risk oneself one’s family friends to, lesser extent, general public. Also importance desire return normality, availability activities technological means contact friends, ability work home. Identified difficulties maintaining social distancing in public (due actions other people environmental constraints), need provide receive support isolation, missing loved ones, mental health impacts, perceiving risks low, pressure comply, understanding keep abreast changing rules. Several raised related participant characteristics. Notably, women more likely discuss needing family. Conclusion results demonstrated an array contributed guidelines. Of particular policy importance, suggest communication emphasizes potential virus provides simple, consistent guidance how would improve preventive behaviours continues for future pandemics.

Abstract Background Identifying common factors that affect public adherence to COVID-19 containment measures can directly inform the development of official health communication strategies. The present international longitudinal study aimed examine whether prosociality, together with other theoretically derived motivating (self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility and severity COVID-19, social support) predict change in Method In wave 1 data collection, adults from eight geographical regions completed online surveys beginning April 2020, 2 began June ended September 2020. Hypothesized predictors included self-efficacy following measures, support. Baseline covariates age, sex, history infection regions. Participants who reported adhering specific including physical distancing, avoidance non-essential travel hand hygiene, were classified as adherence. dependent variable was category adherence, which constructed based on changes across survey period four categories: non-adherence, less greater sustained (which designated reference category). Results total, 2189 adult participants (82% female, 57.2% aged 31–59 years) East Asia (217 [9.7%]), West (246 [11.2%]), North South America (131 [6.0%]), Northern Europe (600 [27.4%]), Western (322 [14.7%]), Southern (433 [19.8%]), Eastern (148 [6.8%]) (96 [4.4%]) analyzed. Adjusted multinomial logistic regression analyses showed self-efficacy, significant affecting at likely become non-adherence by 26% (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.74; 95% CI, 0.71 0.77; P < .001), while those prosociality 23% (aOR, 0.75 0.79; = .04).

Social mixing contributes to the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. We developed a composite measure for risky social mixing, investigating changes during pandemic and factors associated with mixing. Forty-five waves online cross-sectional surveys were used (n = 78,917 responses; 14 September 2020 13 April 2022). investigated socio-demographic, contextual psychological engaging in highest risk England at seven timepoints. Patterns varied over time, broadly line restrictions. Engaging was being younger, less worried about COVID-19, perceiving lower COVID-19 be severe illness, thinking risks exaggerated, not agreeing that one's personal behaviour had an impact on how spreads, information from UK Government can trusted. Our restrictions place time data collection, providing some validation measure. While messages targeting may reduce higher achieving large change short space necessitate reimposition

Abstract Public adoption of preventative behaviors to reduce the transmission COVID‐19 is crucial managing pandemic, and so it vital determine what factors influence uptake those behaviors. Previous studies have identified risk perceptions as a key factor, but this work has typically been limited both in assuming that means personal self, being reliant on self‐reported data. Drawing social identity approach, we conducted two online which investigated effects different types measure taking: self collective (i.e., members group with one identifies). Both involved behavioral measures using innovative interactive tasks. In Study 1 ( n = 199; data collected 27 May 2021), (inter)personal physical distancing. 2 553; 20 September speed at tests are booked symptoms develop. studies, find risk, not extent adopted. We discuss implications conceptually (as they relate conceptualization processes) also practically (in terms for public health communications).
