INTRODUCTION: Influenza vaccination can prevent influenza and potentially serious
influenza-related complications. Although the single best way to prevent
influenza is annual vaccination, everyday preventive actions, including good
hygiene, health, dietary, and social habits, might help, too. Several preventive
measures are recommended, including: avoiding close contact with people who are
sick; staying home when sick; covering your mouth and nose when coughing or
sneezing; washing your hands often; avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth;
and practicing other good health habits like cleaning and disinfecting frequently
touched surfaces, getting plenty of sleep, and drinking plenty of fluids.
Understanding public acceptance and current usage of these preventive behaviors
can be useful for planning both seasonal and pandemic influenza prevention
campaigns. This study estimated the percentage of adults in the United States who
reported practicing preventive behaviors to avoid catching or spreading
influenza, and explored associations of reported behaviors with sociodemographic
factors. METHODS: We analyzed data from 2015 National Internet Flu Survey, a
nationally representative probability-based Internet panel survey of the
non-institutionalized U.S. population ?18 years. The self-reported behaviors used
to avoid catching or spreading influenza were grouped into four and three
non-mutually exclusive subgroups, respectively. Weighted proportions were
calculated. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to calculate
adjusted prevalence differences and to determine independent associations between
sociodemographic characteristics and preventive behavior subgroups. RESULTS:
Common preventive behaviors reported were: 83.2% wash hands often, 80.0% cover
coughs and sneezes, 78.2% stay home if sick with a respiratory illness, 64.4%
avoid people sick with a respiratory illness, 51.7% use hand sanitizers, 50.2%
get treatment as soon as possible, and 49.8% report getting the influenza
vaccination. Race/ethnicity, gender, age, education, income, region, receipt of
influenza vaccination, and household size were associated with use of preventive
behaviors after controlling for other factors. CONCLUSION: Many adults in the
United States reported using preventive behaviors to avoid catching or spreading
influenza. Though vaccination is the most important tool available to prevent
influenza, the addition of preventive behaviors might play an effective role in
reducing or slowing transmission of influenza and complement prevention efforts.
