Prevalence, Risk Factors, Disease-Related Knowledge, and Vaccination Attitudes and Behaviors for Long COVID Among French Civil Servants: Cross-Sectional Survey
Unlike previous studies that examined the clinical or behavioral factors separately, this nationwide analysis linked epidemiological data with knowledge and vaccination behaviors. Among French civil servants, long COVID remains underdiagnosed, where absenteeism and sick leave threaten essential services. The study highlights disparities in disease-related knowledge, vaccination attitudes, and behaviors, underlining the importance of workplace health education and systematic screening. Vaccination is associated with lower odds of long COVID, reinforcing its preventive value. Thus, findings reveal organizational implications and support workplace-based prevention strategies integrating vaccination promotion, early detection, and health literacy to sustain the resilience of public services.
