finally behaviors
We interpret and present our findings using adapted domains of the IMB Model: information, motivators, behavioral skills, and finally behaviors (Information-motivation-behavioral skills model adapted to COVID-19 transmission prevention behaviors.A number of external and moderating factors likely influence information availability, motivation to perform the behaviors, and behavioral skills. We believe these include the severity of the epidemic locally and nationally; established guidelines and policies; content, methods, and reach of official IEC efforts; and the content, amount, and reach of media coverage, including social media and news sources. Additionally, especially in resource-limited settings, access to the resources needed to perform the behaviors, including masks, water, handwashing basins, soap, and hand sanitizer can be economically or geographically inaccessible.
