The Public's Perception of the Severity and Global Impact at the Start of the Novel SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic: A Crowdsourcing Based Cross-Sectional Analysis.
Journal of Medical Internet Research 2020 August 12
BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a rapidly developing threat to most people in the United States and abroad. The behaviors of the general public are important to understand, as they may have a tremendous impact on the course of this novel coronavirus pandemic.
OBJECTIVE: This study intends to assess the US population's perception and knowledge of the virus as a threat and the behaviors of the general population in response.
METHODS: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted with random volunteers recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk© (Seattle, WA), an internet crowd-sourcing service, on 3/24/2020.
RESULTS: A total of 969 participants met inclusion criteria. It was found that the perceived severity of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly differed between age groups (P < .001) and men and women (P < .001). A majority of study participants were actively adhering to CDC guidelines.
CONCLUSIONS: Though many participants identify COVID-19 as a threat, many failed to place themselves appropriately in the correct categories with respect to risk. This may indicate a need for additional public education in appropriately defining the risk of this novel pandemic.
