减少COVID-19传播的公共卫生措施包括在公共场所戴口罩、保持身体距离、生病时待在家里、避开高风险地点、使用接触者追踪应用程序以及愿意接种COVID-19疫苗。然而，采取这些措施的情况差别很大。我们旨在通过以下方式改进卫生信息传递，提高对公共卫生行为的遵守程度，以减少COVID-19的传播：1)确定对公共卫生措施和当前行为的态度；2)确定采取公共卫生措施的障碍；3)确定公共卫生传播策略。我们从艾伯塔省的3000个电话号码中随机招募了参与者，以完成预定的配额：年龄（18-29岁；30-59岁；60岁以上），地理位置（城市；农村），以及他们是否有学龄儿童。两名研究人员对所有转录本进行了编码和主题化。我们进行了内容分析和深入的专题分析。于2020年8 - 9月进行9个焦点小组，每组2-8人。确定了几个主题：1)公共卫生措施的重要性；2)遵守公共卫生措施；3)对公共卫生信息的批评；4)改进公共卫生信息传递的建议。人们认为，保持身体距离和戴上口罩比使用接触者追踪应用程序更重要。对于是否愿意接种新冠病毒疫苗，人们的看法不一。目前的公共卫生信息被认为相互矛盾。参与者认为，持续的信息传递和利用社交媒体接触年轻人会有所帮助。总之，这些发现提供了见解，可用于为有针对性的（例如按年龄、当前行为）公共卫生沟通提供信息，以鼓励减少COVID-19传播的行为。
Public health measures to reduce COVID-19 transmission include masking in public places, physical distancing, staying home when ill, avoiding high-risk locations, using a contact tracing app, and being willing to take a COVID-19 vaccine. However, adoption of these measures varies greatly. We aimed to improve health messaging to increase adherence to public health behaviours to reduce COVID-19 transmission by: 1) determining attitudes towards public health measures and current behaviours; 2) identifying barriers to following public health measures; and, 3) identifying public health communication strategies. We recruited participants from a random panel of 3000 phone numbers across Alberta to fill a predetermined quota: age (18–29; 30–59; 60+ years), geographic location (urban; rural), and whether they had school-age children. Two researchers coded and themed all transcripts. We performed content analysis and in-depth thematic analysis. Nine focus groups were conducted with 2–8 participants/group in August-September, 2020. Several themes were identified: 1) importance of public health measures; 2) compliance with public health measures; 3) critiques of public health messaging; and 4) suggestions for improving public health messaging. Physical distancing and masking were seen as more important than using a contact tracing app. There were mixed views around willingness to take COVID-19 vaccine. Current public health messaging was perceived as conflicting. Participants felt that consistent messaging and using social media to reach younger people would be helpful. In conclusion, these findings provide insights that can be used to inform targeted (e.g., by age, current behaviour) public health communications to encourage behaviors that reduce COVID-19 transmission.
