Evaluate public awareness regarding COVID-19 prevention and assess its relationship with knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices during the early phase of the pandemic.
Online cross-sectional survey conducted between March 30 and May 21, 2020, among 355 participants in Malaysia using Google Forms.
Assessed five domains—sociodemographics, awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices—using Bloom’s 80% cut-off point to evaluate overall scores.
Public awareness strongly influenced knowledge levels, attitudes, and adherence to preventive practices against COVID-19 spread.
Participants showed reasonably favorable preventive behaviors, though outcomes underscored an ongoing need to eliminate negative stigmas and reinforce infection control measures.
