Risk perception and preventive behaviours of COVID-19 among university students, Gondar, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study.

Published in: BMJ open (2022)

The overall COVID-19 preventive behaviour among university students is unsatisfactory. Students' COVID-19 preventive behaviour was influenced by age, sex, knowing a COVID-19 infected person, perceived susceptibility and the sort of programme in which they had enrolled. The findings revealed that health communication interventions aimed at changing people's perceptions of COVID-19 and related prevention strategies are urgently needed to improve this population's COVID-19 preventive behaviour.
