We investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic affected people's health-related choices and spending habits in Italy, the first European country to be heavily affected by the pandemic. We collected about 3000 questionnaires in May and June 2020 (that is, during the stabilization phase that followed the country's lockdown), asking questions taken from the "Survey tool and guidance: rapid, simple, flexible behavioural insights on COVID-19" issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), and correlated the responses with respondents' demographic and socioeconomic profiles. A principal component analysis (PCA) shows three main components that we label "Unusual behavior," "Precautionary spending," and "Augmented social distancing," which vary with demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
我们调查了新冠疫情如何影响意大利民众与健康相关的选择和消费习惯，意大利是首个受疫情严重影响的欧洲国家。我们于2020年5月和6月（即该国封锁后的稳定阶段）收集了约3000份问卷，问题取自世界卫生组织（WHO）发布的《调查工具与指南：关于新冠疫情的快速、简单、灵活行为洞察》，并将回答与受访者的人口统计学和社会经济概况相关联。主成分分析（PCA）显示出三个主要成分，我们将其标记为“异常行为”“预防性支出”和“强化社交距离”，这些成分随人口统计学和社会经济特征而变化。
