新冠肺炎疫情向公众提出了快速向公众传播准确医疗信息的挑战。可信和不可信的来源可能会影响公众对病毒的反应。这项研究的目的是评估位于堪萨斯州或附近的女性的反应。2020年7月进行了一项调查，问题包括对新冠肺炎的了解，对新冠肺炎的态度和行为，以及主要信息来源。305名受访者符合进一步分析的标准，并进行了描述性统计分析。参与者普遍了解大流行，平均知识得分为11.40分(满分13分)(SD 1.3)。认同比率最高的态度陈述是“社交疏远是控制新冠肺炎传播的有效方法”(n = 265，86.9%)，不同意比率最高的是“我不担心朋友和家人的健康”(n = 253，83.0%)。被调查者表示，最多的行为是避免与病人接触，经常用肥皂和水洗手(n = 294，96.4%)，最少的行为是避免进食肉类(n = 257，84.3%)。最后，大多数参与者表示，卫生官员是他们的主要信息来源(n = 215，70.5%)。这项调查的参与者对该病毒有较好的了解。作为一个整体，参与者的态度可以被描述为谨慎，而不是过于恐惧。报告的行为也与当前的公共卫生建议很好地一致。这些反应可能反映了参与者从哪里获得他们的信息，对大多数人来说，这些信息来自公共卫生官员。
The COVID-19 pandemic brought forward the challenge of dispersing accurate medical information to the public rapidly. Credible and non-credible sources may impact public reactions to the virus. The purpose of this study is to assess those reactions of women located in or near Kansas. A survey was conducted in July 2020 with questions on knowledge of COVID-19, attitudes and behaviors towards COVID-19, and primary sources of information. 305 survey respondents met criteria for further analysis, and descriptive statistical analyses were applied. Participants were generally knowledgeable of the pandemic, with a mean knowledge score of 11.40 out of 13 (SD 1.3). The attitude statement with the highest rate of agreement was that “social distancing is an effective way of controlling COVID-19 spread” (n = 265, 86.9%) and that with the highest rate of disagreement was, “I am not worried about my friends’ and family members health” (n = 253, 83.0%). The most-implemented behaviors as indicated by participants were avoiding contact with sick individuals and washing hands with soap and water often (n = 294, 96.4%), and the least implemented was avoiding meat consumption (n = 257, 84.3%). Finally, most participants indicated that health officials were their primary source of information (n = 215, 70.5%). Participants of this survey had fairly good knowledge of the virus. Attitudes of participants as a whole may be described as cautious without being overly fearful. Reported behaviors also align well with current public health recommendations. These responses may be reflective of where participants are receiving their information, which, for the majority, is from public health officials.
