Caregiver worry about COVID-19 as a predictor of social mitigation behaviours and SARS-CoV-2 infection in a 12-city U.S. surveillance study of households with children

Findings should inform studies weighing the adaptive value of worrying about infectious disease outbreaks against established detrimental health effects.
