To slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the German government released the 'Corona-Warn-App', a smartphone application that warns users if they have come into contact with other users tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Since using the 'Corona-Warn-App' is health-relevant behavior, it is essential to understand who is (and who is not) using it and why. In N = 1972 German adults, we found that non-users were on average older, female, healthier, in training and had low general trust in others. The most frequently named reasons by non-users were privacy concerns, doubts about the effectiveness of the app and lack of technical equipment.
为了减缓 SARS-CoV-2 的传播，德国政府发布了一款智能手机应用程序“Corona-Warn-App”，如果用户与其他经检测 SARS-CoV-2 呈阳性的用户接触，该应用程序会向用户发出警告。由于使用“Corona-Warn-App”是与健康相关的行为，因此了解谁（和谁不）使用它以及为什么使用它至关重要。在 N = 1972 名德国成年人中，我们发现非使用者的平均年龄较大、女性、健康状况较好、处于培训中，并且对他人的普遍信任度较低。非使用者最常提到的原因是隐私问题、对应用程序效果的怀疑以及缺乏技术设备。
