Overview

Observational study reveals suboptimal protective behaviors and moderate awareness in a suburban population, highlighting the need for targeted community health education.

Key Points

To evaluate the level of knowledge, attitudes, and preventative practices concerning COVID-19 among adults in a suburban community.
Conducted a descriptive observational study in Keraniganj Upazilla, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from August 2022 to October 2022.
Administered a 15-item semi-structured questionnaire through face-to-face interviews among N=618 adult participants.
Accurate knowledge varied across domains, with 91.3% (n=564) identifying preventive measures, 85.4% (n=528) recognizing symptoms, 77.5% (n=479) identifying modes of transmission, and 68.4% (n=423) knowing the causative agent.
Positive attitudes toward interventions were moderate: 56.8% (n=351) viewed mask usage as very useful, 55.2% (n=341) viewed vaccines as very useful, 54.4% (n=336) favored isolation, and 89.5% (n=553) expressed positive attitudes toward seeking treatment.
Overall vaccination uptake reached 96.0% (43.4% received three doses, 46.3% received two doses, and 6.3% received one dose), whereas preventive compliance remained suboptimal, with 51.9% (n=321) wearing masks irregularly and 53.1% (n=328) distancing only sometimes.
