目的了解重庆市居民对新冠肺炎疫情的风险认知及相关因素。方法采用方便抽样的方法，于2020年2月13日至14日对重庆市476名常住居民进行网络问卷调查。结果居民对COVID-19的传染性、致病性、致死率和自评感染可能性的感知风险分别为（4.63 +/- 0.57）、（4.19 +/- 0.76）、（3.23 +/- 0.91）和（2.29 +/- 0.96）。女性（OR = 4.234），收入>= 2000元的人（2000-4999元：OR = 5.052, 5000-9999元：OR = 4.301, >= 10000元）；OR = 23.459)、已婚（OR = 1.811）、离异、丧偶或鳏夫（OR = 3.038）、有子女（OR = 5.085）、慢性病患者（OR = 2.423）以及以免费媒体网站（OR = 1.756）、社区工作者（OR = 4.064）、社区信息平台（OR = 2.235）为主要媒体信息来源的人群感知风险水平较高。年龄每增加一岁，感知风险增加4.9%。使用微信联系人（OR = 0.196）作为主要媒体信息来源的人报告的感知风险较低。结论重庆市居民对新冠肺炎风险认知水平较高，受人口统计学特征影响。包括社区信息平台和社区工作人员在内的媒体信息来源可能会导致公众风险认知的增加。
Objective To assess perceptions of risk and related factors concerning COVID-19 epidemic among residents in Chongqing city, China. Methods With convenience sampling, a web questionnaire survey was conducted among 476 residents living in Chongqing on February 13rd to 14th in 2020, when citizens just started to get back to work. Results Residents' estimated perceived risks were (4.63 +/- 0.57), (4.19 +/- 0.76), (3.23 +/- 0.91) and (2.29 +/- 0.96) for the infectivity, pathogenicity, lethality and self-rated infection possibility of COVID-19, respectively. Females (OR = 4.234), people with income >= 2000 yuan (2000-4999 yuan: OR = 5.052, 5000-9999 yuan: OR = 4.301, >= 10,000 yuan: OR = 23.459), the married status (OR = 1.811), the divorced status, widows or widowers (OR = 3.038), people living with families including children (OR = 5.085) or chronic patients (OR = 2.423) had a higher perceived risk level, as well as people who used free media websites (OR = 1.756), community workers (OR = 4.064) or community information platforms (OR = 2.235) as main media information sources. The perceived risk increased by 4.9% for every one-year increase of age. People who used WeChat contacts (OR = 0.196) as the main media information source, reported a lower perceived risk. Conclusion Residents reported a high level of risk perception towards COVID-19 in Chongqing and it was impacted by the population demographic characteristics. Media information sources, including community information platforms and community workers may cause the increase of public risk perceptions.
