This was a survey of the general non-healthcare-worker USA population regarding their knowledge and attitudes toward the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost everyone practiced social distancing. Women were significantly more likely to be worried about contracting the virus than men (65% vs. 43%, p = 0.0272). There was also a linear trend with age, with older Americans being more worried about contracting the virus. Women were also significantly likely to have received the influenza vaccine this past season compared to men (60% vs. 37%, p = .0167). Similarly, women were significantly more likely to get the influenza vaccine next season than men (77% vs. 46%, p = .0014.). Overall, across every age group, geographic part of the USA and gender, more (or the same) Americans plan on getting the influenza vaccine next season compared to last, but not fewer. This may reflect more awareness of preventative health brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
这是一项针对美国普通非医护人员群体关于他们对新冠疫情的知识和态度的调查。几乎所有人都采取了社交距离措施。女性比男性更有可能担心感染病毒（65%对43%，p = 0.0272）。年龄方面也存在线性趋势，年龄较大的美国人更担心感染病毒。与男性相比，女性在过去一个季节接种流感疫苗的可能性也显著更高（60%对37%，p = 0.0167）。同样，女性在下个季节接种流感疫苗的可能性也显著高于男性（77%对46%，p = 0.0014）。总体而言，在美国的每个年龄组、地理区域和性别群体中，与上一季相比，计划在下个季节接种流感疫苗的美国人更多（或相同），而不是更少。这可能反映出新冠疫情带来的对预防性健康的更多认识。
