Predictors of incident SARS-CoV-2 infections in an international prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Until effective treatments and vaccines are made readily and widely available, preventative behavioural health measures will be central to the SARS-CoV-2 public health response. While current recommendations are grounded in general infectious disease prevention practices, it is still not entirely understood which particular behaviours or exposures meaningfully affect one's own risk of incident SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our objective is to identify individual-level factors associated with one's personal risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2.

Design

Prospective cohort study of adult participants from 26 March 2020 to 8 October 2020.

Setting

The COVID-19 Citizen Science Study, an international, community and mobile-based study collecting daily, weekly and monthly surveys
