| Abstract |
The purpose of study is to assess the association between socioeconomic status and daily life changes, concerns, and precautionary behaviors related to COVID-19 using data drawn from the 2020 Community Health Survey.
Multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed. The finding indicates that low socioeconomic status was associated with high daily life changes due to COVID-19. However, high socioeconomic status was associated with high concerns about COVID-19. Low socioeconomic status was associated with high level of practice of hand-washing to prevent infection, but there was no consistent results in the compliance of COVID-19 precautionary behavior. The results suggested that individuals need to be provided with information and prevention measures related to COVID- 19, as well as a physical and social environment in which individuals can implement COVID-19 precautionary behavior. |
