OBJECTIVES: To determine peoples' knowledge, attitudes, risk perceptions, and
practices to provide policymakers pieces of field-based evidence and help them in
the management of the COVID-19 epidemic. METHODS: This population-based survey
was conducted using multi-stage stratified and cluster sampling in Shiraz, Iran.
A total of 1331 persons were interviewed. The questionnaires were completed by
face-to-face interviews. Univariable and multivariable (linear regression) data
analyses were done using SPSS. RESULTS: The participants answered 63% of
questions regarding knowledge, and 78% of questions regarding practice correctly.
Only, 4.8% knew about common symptoms of COVID-19 and 7.3% about warning signs
that require referral to hospitals. Males, lower educated people, and elders had
a lower level of knowledge and poorer practices. Knowledge was also lower in the
marginalized (socially deprived) people. Knowledge and practices' correlation was
37%. Overall, 43.6% considered themselves at high risk of COVID-19, and 50%
considered it as a severe disease. This disease had negative effects on most
participants' routine activities (69.1%). The participants preferred to follow
the news from the national TV/Radio, social networks, and foreign satellite
channels, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Encouragement of people to observe
preventive measures and decreasing social stress, especially among males, lower
educated people, elders, and marginalized groups, are highly recommended.
