BACKGROUND: Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus
disease (COVID-19) in late 2019, communities have been required to rapidly adopt
community mitigation strategies rarely used before, or only in limited settings.
This study aimed to examine the attitudes and beliefs of Australian adults
towards the COVID-19 pandemic, and willingness and capacity to engage with these
mitigation measures. In addition, we aimed to explore the psychosocial and
demographic factors that are associated with adoption of recommended
hygiene-related and avoidance-related behaviors. METHODS: A national
cross-sectional online survey of 1420 Australian adults (18 years and older) was
undertaken between the 18 and 24 March 2020. The statistical analysis of the data
included univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. FINDINGS: The
survey of 1420 respondents found 50% (710) of respondents felt COVID-19 would
'somewhat' affect their health if infected and 19% perceived their level of risk
as high or very high. 84·9% had performed ?1 of the three recommended
hygiene-related behaviors and 93·4% performed ?1 of six avoidance-related
behaviors over the last one month. Adopting avoidance behaviors was associated
with trust in government/authorities (aOR: 6.0, 95% CI 2.6-11·0), higher
perceived rating of effectiveness of behaviors (aOR: 4·0, 95% CI: 1·8-8·7),
higher levels of perceived ability to adopt social distancing strategies (aOR:
5.0, 95% CI: 1·5-9.3), higher trust in government (aOR: 6.0, 95% CI: 2.6-11.0)
and higher level of concern if self-isolated (aOR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1-3.0).
INTERPRETATION: In the last two months, members of the public have been inundated
with messages about hygiene and social (physical) distancing. However, our
results indicate that a continued focus on supporting community understanding of
the rationale for these strategies, as well as instilling community confidence in
their ability to adopt or sustain the recommendations is needed.
