Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of public knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) for managing disease spread, which can inform health initiatives and policies.
- A study in Vietnam surveyed 335 participants to assess their KAP about COVID-19 prevention, revealing significant gaps in knowledge, attitudes, and practices among certain demographics.
- Factors like older age, non-Kinh ethnicity, low education levels, and limited access to media were linked to poor KAP, indicating the need for targeted health education and media outreach for vulnerable populations to improve epidemic responses.
