Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals low risk perception of COVID-19 among adults, indicating public health factors influence awareness.

Key Points

  • 96% of participants exhibited low risk perception of COVID-19 despite good knowledge and preventive practices.
  • There was a significant association between positive attitudes towards preventive measures and risk perception (p=0.02).
  • The study utilized a house-to-house survey method, gathering data from 323 adult heads of families in Mangalore.
  • Findings suggest public health interventions have shaped awareness, yet risk perception remains lower than expected.
