Background At the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) unprecedented scope and duration were implemented to limit community spread COVID-19. There remains limited evidence about how these measures impacted lived experience affected communities. This study captured early impacts coping strategies in King County, Washington, one first U.S. communities by Methods We conducted a cross-sectional web-based survey 793 English- Spanish-speaking adult County residents from March 18, 2020 –May 30, 2020, using voluntary response sampling. The included close- open-ended questions on participant demographics, wellbeing, protective actions, COVID-19-related concerns, including freeform narrative describe pandemic’s individual-, family- community-level associated strategies. Descriptive statistics used analyze close-ended questions, qualitative content analysis methods free-form responses. Results median age participants was 45 years old, 74% female, 82% White, 6% Hispanic/Latinx; 474 (60%) provided narrative. Quantitative findings demonstrated that higher percentages engaged most types behaviors after stay-at-home order schools spaces closed, relative before, tended report greater concern physical health or healthcare access than financial social impacts. Qualitative data described employment (56%) vitality (65%), intended support positive functioning. Conclusions documented pandemic NPIs response, as well employed cope with those impacts, which can inform early-stage policy formation intervention mitigate negative Future research should explore endurance evolution throughout multiyear pandemic.

The results show that achieved levels explained variance R 2 > .60). In particular, central components behavioral change (attitudes, intentions, control, habits, norms, risk) were strongest most consistent over time. Likewise, autonomous motivation empathetic emotions (e.g., attentive, compassionate) had positive impact on behavior adherence, whereas it was opposite for lively active, enthusiastic).
