Objective The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the critical role of public engagement in health protective behaviors (e.g. masking, vaccination) to reduce viral spread and impact. Future public health efforts may be facilitated by identifying factors that impact the likelihood of adopting these behaviors. This study evaluated whether COVID-specific worry and/or generalized anxiety predicted subsequent uptake of COVID-19 vaccination and engagement in other COVID-preventive behaviors.
