OBJECTIVE
College students play a major role in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the viral agent responsible for COVID-19. We aim to understand risk perceptions, self-efficacy, and adoption of prevention behaviors in this population to inform prevention strategies.
PARTICIPANTS
Undergraduate students attending a large public university.
METHODS
A convenience sample of students were surveyed (April-June 2020). Participants self-reported risk perceptions, perceived risk of contracting COVID-19, self-efficacy, and prevention behavior engagement.
RESULTS
A total of 1,449 students were included in the analysis. The majority were women (71.2%) and aged 18-24 (86.6%). Freshmen had the lowest risk and threat perceptions, as did men; men also had lower self-efficacy. Women engaged significantly more in prevention behaviors compared to men.
CONCLUSIONS
Perceived risk of contracting COVID-19 was low, but overall adoption of prevention behaviors was high due to local mandates. Freshmen men were identified as having the greatest need for changing perceptions and behaviors.
目的
大学生在 SARS-CoV-2 的传播中扮演着重要角色，SARS-CoV-2 是导致 COVID-19 的病毒。我们旨在了解这一人群的风险认知、自我效能感和预防行为的采用情况，为预防策略提供信息。
参与者
在一所大型公立大学就读的本科生。
方法
对一组方便的学生进行了调查（2020 年 4 月至 6 月）。参与者自我报告风险认知、感染 COVID-19 的风险感知、自我效能感和预防行为的参与情况。
结果
共有 1449 名学生被纳入分析。大多数是女性（71.2%）和 18-24 岁（86.6%）。大一新生的风险和威胁感知最低，男性也是如此；男性的自我效能感也较低。与男性相比，女性采取的预防措施明显更多。
结论
尽管由于当地的强制要求，对感染 COVID-19 的总体预防行为的采用率很高，但对 COVID-19 的感知风险较低。新生男性被确定为需要改变认知和行为的最大人群。
