This study aimed to examine the attitudes and
beliefs of Australian adults towards the COVID-19 pandemic, and willingness and
capacity to engage with these mitigation measures. In addition, we aimed to explore
the psychosocial and demographic factors that are associated with adoption of
recommended hygiene-related and avoidance-related behaviors. A national cross-sectional online survey of 1420
Australian adults (18 years and older) was undertaken between the 18 and 24
March 2020.
