This brief report documents the results of a survey that measured the public's and doctors' perceived effectiveness of preventive behaviors against COVID-19, in Japan. Medical doctors ( = 117) and the general public ( = 1086) participated in our online survey. The results of the analysis of mean scores indicate that there were only slight differences in perceived effectiveness between the two groups, while the differences in distributions were remarkable. The results of Silverman's test suggest the unimodality of doctors' responses and multimodality of the public's responses. Implications of the findings to combat the risk of infection are discussed.
本简要报告记录了一项调查的结果，该调查衡量了日本公众和医生对 COVID-19 预防行为的感知效果。参与我们在线调查的有医生（ = 117）和普通公众（ = 1086）。对平均分数的分析结果表明，两组之间在感知效果上只有细微差异，而分布上的差异则非常显著。西尔弗曼检验的结果表明医生的反应是单峰的，而公众的反应是多峰的。讨论了这些发现对对抗感染风险的意义。
