Perceptions of COVID-19 risk among individuals with preexisting health conditions
Individuals with PECs perceived a higher risk of COVID-19 infection for themselves and others towards the beginning of the pandemic, although this perception of susceptibility, or risk, was lower at follow-up. In this study, we showed that attitudes toward health and risk of disease of oneself and others may change throughout a pandemic.
