对冠状病毒大流行的感知风险是改善公共卫生措施合规性以降低感染率的关键。这项研究调查了生活在各自国家的撒哈拉以南非洲人（SSA）和散居国外的人如何看待他们感染COVID-19病毒的风险以及相关因素。在2020年4月27日至5月17日期间，对1969名18岁及以上的参与者（55.1%为男性）进行了基于网络的横断面调查，这与大多数SSA国家的强制封锁相对应。因变量是对感染COVID-19的风险的感知得分。自变量包括人口统计学特征以及COVID-19相关知识和态度得分。单变量和多元线性回归分析确定了与对COVID-19的风险认知相关的因素。在受访者中，大多数人生活在撒哈拉以南非洲（n = 1 855，92.8%）和143（7.2%）在散居地。两组患者的平均风险感知评分无显著差异（p = 0.117），然而，18-28岁的人的风险感知评分较低，（p = 0.003）比年长的受访者，而有工作（p = 0.040）和教育程度高（p < 0.001）的受访者的风险感知得分显著高于其他受访者。调整协变量后，多变量分析显示，39-48岁的SSA居民（调整系数，β = 0.06，95%CI [0.01，1.19]）和医疗保健部门工作人员（β = 0.61，95%CI [0.09，1.14]）报告的COVID-19感知风险较高。对于非洲的两个SSA，随着COVID-19感知风险的增加，知识和态度得分增加（知识β = 1.19，95% CI [1.05，1.34];态度β = 0.63，95% CI [0.58，0.69]）和散居（知识β = 1.97，95% CI [1.16，2.41];态度β = 0.30，95% CI [0.02，0.58]）。有必要推广预防措施，重点是增加人们对COVID-19的认识，并鼓励人们对疫苗和教育等缓解措施持积极态度。这种干预措施应针对年轻人口、受教育程度较低和非保健工作者。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1186/s12889-021-11600-3获得。
Perceived risk towards the coronavirus pandemic is key to improved compliance with public health measures to reduce the infection rates. This study investigated how Sub-Saharan Africans (SSA) living in their respective countries and those in the diaspora perceive their risk of getting infected by the COVID-19 virus as well as the associated factors. A web-based cross-sectional survey on 1969 participants aged 18 years and above (55.1% male) was conducted between April 27th and May 17th 2020, corresponding to the mandatory lockdown in most SSA countries. The dependent variable was the perception of risk for contracting COVID-19 scores. Independent variables included demographic characteristics, and COVID-19 related knowledge and attitude scores. Univariate and multiple linear regression analyses identified the factors associated with risk perception towards COVID-19. Among the respondents, majority were living in SSA (n = 1855, 92.8%) and 143 (7.2%) in the diaspora. There was no significant difference in the mean risk perception scores between the two groups (p = 0.117), however, those aged 18–28 years had lower risk perception scores (p = 0.003) than the older respondents, while those who were employed (p = 0.040) and had higher levels of education (p < 0.001) had significantly higher risk perception scores than other respondents. After adjusting for covariates, multivariable analyses revealed that SSA residents aged 39–48 years (adjusted coefficient, β = 0.06, 95% CI [0.01, 1.19]) and health care sector workers (β = 0.61, 95% CI [0.09, 1.14]) reported a higher perceived risk of COVID-19. Knowledge and attitude scores increased as perceived risk for COVID-19 increased for both SSAs in Africa (β = 1.19, 95% CI [1.05, 1.34] for knowledge; β = 0.63, 95% CI [0.58, 0.69] for attitude) and in Diaspora (β = 1.97, 95% CI [1.16, 2.41] for knowledge; β = 0.30, 95% CI [0.02, 0.58] for attitude). There is a need to promote preventive measures focusing on increasing people’s knowledge about COVID-19 and encouraging positive attitudes towards the mitigation measures such as vaccines and education. Such interventions should target the younger population, less educated and non-healthcare workers. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12889-021-11600-3.
