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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
