Despite higher risk of Covid-19 and barriers to health care for older African Americans, there have been few studies examining the effects of Covid-related risk perception on engagement in health behaviors and biomedical research in this population. Survey data on Covid-19-related health beliefs were collected from 236 older African Americans between October 2021 and January 2022. Data were analyzed using chi-square analyses and linear models. Participants reported high rates of access to, use of, and engagement in Covid-19 related preventative health materials and behaviors. Perceived risk for contracting Covid-19 was associated with a higher likelihood of engagement in preventative health behaviors, but not to participation in biomedical research. Those who reported more Covid-19 risk factors did not engage in more health behaviors. Participants were most likely to report an interest in virtual research participation. Those with increased life disruptions due to Covid-19 were more likely to be interested in research.
尽管老年非裔美国人感染新冠病毒的风险更高，且在获得医疗保健方面存在障碍，但很少有研究探讨新冠相关风险认知对该人群健康行为参与度和生物医学研究的影响。2021年10月至2022年1月期间，从236名老年非裔美国人中收集了关于新冠病毒相关健康信念的调查数据。使用卡方分析和线性模型对数据进行了分析。参与者报告称，获取、使用和参与新冠病毒相关预防性健康材料及行为的比例很高。感染新冠病毒的感知风险与参与预防性健康行为的可能性较高相关，但与参与生物医学研究无关。报告有更多新冠病毒风险因素的人并没有采取更多的健康行为。参与者最有可能表示对虚拟研究参与感兴趣。因新冠病毒而生活受到更多干扰的人对研究更感兴趣。
