A pilot study on the pattern of COVID-19 information sources and its associated factors among the public in Qatar: a cross-sectional survey

The study findings suggest that the Ministry of Public Health is a widely trusted information source that offers a potentially effective tool for shaping, designing, and disseminating information messages to shape public attitudes toward control of COVID-19 and enhancement of preventive actions. By offering insight into the pattern of COVID-19 information sources and its associated factors among the public in Qatar, the study formulated a set of recommendations for health decision-makers to set packages to help manage and control the spread of coronavirus.
