本研究旨在评估孟加拉国青年对COVID-19的知识、态度和做法（KAP）。2020年5月5日至5月25日进行了横断面调查。通过社交媒体联系年龄在18至35岁之间的人，让他们完成一份在线问卷，其中包括社会人口统计信息和对COVID-19的认知。采用描述性统计、t检验、单因素方差分析（ANOVA）和logistic回归分析。在707名调查参与者中，57.1%是男性，大多数是学生（60.3%），年龄在24-29岁（61.5%），拥有学士学位（57%），家庭收入在25,000-50,000 BDT(40.5%)，居住在城市地区（64.4%）。参与者主要通过社交媒体收集新冠肺炎相关信息（70.4%）。总体而言，61.2%的人对新冠肺炎有足够的知识，78.9%的人对新冠肺炎持积极态度，只有51.6%的人采取了良好的做法。大多数（86.8%）的参与者相信COVID-19将得到成功控制，孟加拉国正在妥善处理COVID-19健康危机（84.2%）。只有75.2%的参与者总是用肥皂或洗手液洗手，70.6%的参与者出门时戴口罩。与知识充足相关的因素为女性、硕士及以上学历、居住在城市地区（p < 0.05）。对COVID-19有充分了解的参与者有更高的可能性拥有积极的态度（OR: 6.41, 95% CI = 2.34-25.56, p < 0.001）和良好的行为（OR: 8.93, 95% CI = 3.92-38.42, p < 0.001）。研究结果强调，需要针对COVID-19制定量身定制的教育方案，其中考虑到相关因素，以提高公众的知识、态度和做法水平。
This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward COVID-19 among youth in Bangladesh. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from 5 May to 25 May 2020. People aged between 18 and 35 years were approached via social media to complete an online questionnaire that consisted of socio-demographic information and KAP toward COVID-19. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and logistic regression analyses were conducted. Out of 707 survey participants, 57.1% were male, the majority were students (60.3%), aged 24-29 years (61.5%), having a bachelor’s degree (57%), having family income 25,000-50,000 BDT (40.5%) and living in urban areas (64.4%). Participants gathered information on COVID-19 mostly through social media (70.4%). Overall, 61.2% had adequate knowledge with 78.9% having a positive attitudes toward COVID-19 and only 51.6% had good practices. Most (86.8%) of the participants were confident that COVID-19 will be successfully controlled and Bangladesh was handling the COVID-19 health crisis well (84.2%). Only 75.2% of participants always washed their hands with soap or hand-sanitizer, and 70.6% wore a mask when going outside the home. Factors associated with adequate knowledge were being female, having a master’s degree and above, and living in an urban area (p < 0.05). Participants having adequate knowledge of COVID-19 had higher likelihood of positive attitudes (OR: 6.41, 95% CI = 2.34–25.56, p < 0.001) and good practices (OR: 8.93, 95% CI = 3.92–38.42, p < 0.001). The findings highlight the need for tailored education programs for COVID-19 which incorporates consideration of associated factors to improve the level of public knowledge, attitudes, and practices.
