Notes.

Adjusted models control for sociodemographic factors age, sex, education, marital status, work status, and time zone.

Bold indicates significance at the <.05 level.

^†Responses to perceived risk [“On a scale from 0–10, what do you think is your risk of getting infected with Coronavirus?”] and perceived severity [“On a scale from 0–10, If you were infected with Coronavirus, how severe do you think it would be?”] were recoded so responses from 0 (Not Severe) to the scale midpoint (5) represented “low risk” and “low severity” responses and those responses from above the scale mid-point (6) to 10 (Very Severe) were re-coded to represent “high risk” and “high severity.” Responses to financial ability to quarantine [“I can financially afford to self-quarantine”], beliefs about discrimination [“Since the Coronavirus outbreak, I feel discriminated against”], beliefs that COVID-19 is deadlier than the flue [“Coronavirus is more deadly than the seasonal flu”], beliefs COVID-19 is not as big a problem as the media suggest [“Coronavirus is not as big of a problem as the media suggests”], and beliefs that COVID-19 is a bigger problem than the government suggests [“Coronavirus is a bigger problem than the government suggests”] were captured on scales from 0 “strongly disagree” to 3 “strongly agree.” Responses were dichotomized so that “strongly disagree” and “disagree” were re-coded to 0 “low” and responses of “disagree” or “strongly disagree” were re-coded to “high,” with the exception of financial ability to quarantine, which was re-coded so that “strongly agree” and “agree” were” represented low financial worries and “strongly disagree” and “disagree” represented high financial worries.
